They aren't all great. I have a tripod I inherited from my father that 
is more imperfect than many other tripods of similar specs. Legs overly 
prone to sympathetic vibration, much worse than the mugh lighter Velbon 
343E. Sticky altitude adjustment from lub aging, but I couldn't find the 
right lube. Center post lock doesn't lock azimuth movement properly.

You can do that with the Bogen 3232 pretty easily by turning the body 90 
deg. on the head and dropping the altitude 90 deg. Not as easy as a ball 
head, but has worked for me.
