The release lever on the Bogen three way heads also interferes with Oly gear. I
can recommend the Arca B-1 if you have a trust fund...

Hi Dirk,
If you are looking at the new (3-4 years ago) quick release Gitzo heads, I
would like to offer a caution.
The Q.C. lever is on the right side and interferes with the winder and/or
motor drive handle when you are using Collar mounted lenses, i.e.. 85-250,
300mm etc.
I think the engineers goofed on this one. They would have been better off
with the lever on the left side.

I love the new Gitzo ones.
I don't like the lever locks on the Bogen, hence I am saving for a new
Gitzo.
