David, the Z1 is an interesting head, but two things strike me: the locking arm for the panning base is very close to the bottom. I saw one review saying that it hits the tripod and cannot be closed completely. What tripod do you use? The other thing is that I love the RRS LR clamp, and would want to fit one if I were to buy a Z1. Is this possible? All reviews said that the Z1 had a smoother action than the BH-55, and the elliptical ball is a stroke of genius. One minor detractor here is that Arca-Swiss is not online... I find this truly bizarre in today's world. Where are they based?[/QUOTE]
In the U.S they have an office in Chicago, but their home office is currently in France. It is rather odd that they don't have a web site to show off their products.
I recently purchased the BH-55LR, but only after talking directly to RRS. They guided me as to what head would fit my needs. I would suggest calling them and see what they recommend for your app.
