I said I had the 486RC2 but realized with Dan's note that it's actually 
the 308RC.  They look the same to me.  Anyhow, *maybe* the 486RC2 is a 
modified 308RC with an engineering change to address the small bit of 
slop in the ball when tightening down.  I don't want to tar the wrong 
product.  In any case it's not likely to perform like the $400-500 ball 
heads everyone likes.
