RE: [OM] Heads, tripod, of course

[M. Lloyd]

The 410 and 405 are made with the same premise. Both
have the ability to quickly disengage and re-engage
the gearing. Neither head is 'fast' so I guess it
isn't very much at all like a ballhead. Both however
offer the precision controls of a geared head with
many of the same abilities of a pan tilt head. If
composition and macro work is something you do the
405/410 are superior to almost anything else.
