Vieri I really like the P1 so far and I am pretty picky in regards to ball heads. I have gone through several the BH54 was nice but camera's would accidentally slip from not tightening the drag and topple over and hit the tripod. The Gitzo I just had although not it's fault the pano clamp I almost lost the camera 3 times due to not tightening down. My fault really but I want idiot proof on these . Sometimes I just go too fast and miss something and can't have that. So need a head that can save my bacon. This P1 you can't help get the release closed properly and it's a two stage to open so it tells you you need that extra step to get it off. If the drag is too lose it won't topple over into the tripod legs. Big one also on this you can set the tripod in any rotational direction down and the drag is always in your hand with no knob to rotate over to say your left hand. And it's a rock
