But I would by it without the Acratech QR and mount an RRS lever type QR.
Nothing wrong the Acratech QR, really, but I used to mix up the buttons for pan and camera release. So I wanted to pan but ended up with camera sitting loose.
I'd suggest that the RRS BH-40 has about the same weight.
By the way, I went the other way: Acratech Ultimate -> RRS BH40 -> RRS BH55 -> Arca Swiss D4, but I loved the Acratech, just hated the QR.
Best regards

Hi,
I have an Acratech ballhead --I guess the predecessor to the GP and a levelling base, on a Gitzo tripod. They are very light and work like a charm. I use them with a Canon 5d2 and a 24-105 lens.
