Hi,

I've never found these to cause an out-of-balance problem. My main tripod is 
a Gitzo 320 with a Manfrotto 3-way pan-tilt head which is itself a bit unwieldy 
- though it's very tight.

All of these devices move the camera a bit further away from the region of 
greatest stability - the apex of the tripod. They seem firm and pretty wobble-
free to me.

But there's no doubt in my mind that they can be of great help in speedily 
getting to grips with a subject in the field - or indoors for that matter. They 
do 
have locking clamps to reduce creep after you have composed and focussed.

B&H have them new for $US 110 (rail) and 70 (stage).

Brian
