A Gitzo R No. 4 pan/tilt with an Arca Swiss FlipLock Quickset Device. I've used this setup exclusively for years.

I had three pods with a different head on each. The one most use, when ever I do use one, it a simple ball head. Probably because it is simple to use.


What's yours?

I use the DOLCIA G 100 pistol grip ball head that has built in QR plates that lock in my camera quite solid and also ad 6+inches to my tripod with out ctanking up the center post. It reposition quite easly with just the press and release of the hand lever.

I use a quick release plate one. It has 3 axis movements and a centre bar with a hook (to adjust
the centre of gravity and secure it against involuntary wobbles).
But I never carry it with the camera attached to it. I don't trust that QR plate much...

RSS BH55 for ball head, but I don't really use it much. RRS Pano Gimbal and I use it a ton... Guess that may not be one but it is the real deal for me... Lever releases and RRS L and Lens plates.

I have two tripods. An Induro carbon fiber tripod with an Induro ball head with Arca-Swiss compatible QR clamp. The second is a Gitzo aluminum tripod with a center column and a Gitzo pan head with an Arca-Swiss compatible QR clamp. I prefer the Induro when weight matters (i.e., when I will be carrying it significant distances). Otherwise I prefer the Gitzo.

Acratech GP-ss with lever clamp on a Sirui tripod for travel and around home
3 others for around home on 3 other tripods - Benro V3, Arca Swiss, and Kaiser - but the Acratech is my favorite. All equipped with Arca type quick release plates.
