#photography nerditry:

I've been playing with the Rogeti RG1 geared tripod head, and I'm liking it more than I expected to. Rogeti is a small specialized Chinese manufacturer; the tripod head is their flagship product. Compared with the Arca C1 Cube (my go-to), it's a bit smaller and lighter, but the thing that's really growing on me is the interchangeable modules for z-axis (panning) movements.

It's not cheap (about USD900), and there are a few annoying quirks, but I'm using it more and more.

Another quirk: the one of the bubble levels in mine is a bit off. This is a common problem, and why I never trust the levels in the head - I only make adjustments based on the levels directly on the camera body.

Anyway, for precision work, the Rogeti is more usable than any of the Arca-Swiss heads I've used. Only the Linhof Micro 3D (more expensive and with a more limited range of movement) does better, at least among heads I've used.
