Over the past few months I have been carefully considering my options regarding my tripod head needs, and have decided that the 3-way pan & tilt option suits me best (although which one os another matter), obviously in order to try out one of the heads on offer from America i've actually had to buy it and then import through customs in to this country, as this particular brand is just not for sale over here.

One particular model I have is considered the best there is and rightly so and is used by renowned photographers such as Guy Edwardes, John Shaw and Frans Lanting, it's the Really Right Stuff BH-55 PRO Full size ball head.

I can now offer this for sale a complete with B2 Pro II Arca Quick release clamp and LB-55 pouch brand new and in mint condition in the box, obviously i've had it out of the box for testing on my gitzo 1325 tripod. I found the head to be superb, it is rock solid when locked up, the tensioning control knob operates suberbly, this head really is superb and is much better than the Swiss Arca version, it's been on the tripod once indoors and has only had 2 lenses on the plate. But as said I prefer 3-way pan and tilt heads so am offering this head for sale, unfortunatly my Swiss Arca B1QR head is just a little too worn to be offered for sale as well.

The ball head cost me £302(£245.88 from really right stuff and £56 import duty), I will sell this item which as I said is brand new and in mint condition for £250 (including £10 postage) unfortunately I'm not really around much at the moment for the buyer to collect from me so postage is the best option.

The BH-55 really is the best of its type. If I didn't already have one, I would have had it off you. £250 is a bargain.
