Re: Tripod Ball Head - 1 or 3 knob control ?

I'm thinking that the 3 knob will give more control - tho' actually it's 2 knobs: ball rotate and ball friction, the 3rd is the pano which is on the "single" knob!

I use a simple Benbo ball head and find it ideal for 'quick setup & shoot' as well as getting those weird angles so necessary when the tripod is contorted into equally weird configuration!

However, downside is I have no horizontal or panning aids - been thinking of getting another head and attaching it, as needed, at other end of central column
