Help On Ballheads

Hi All
I am in the process of purchasing a new ball head.

I’ve narrowed it down to either Acratech GV2 or a Kirk BH-3.

My set up is Canon EOS Mark II with canon 70-200mm IS F2.8 or 24-70mm 2.8.

If you own or have owned one of these ball heads could you give
both the positive and negative feedback of each and which one might
be best suited for my camera setup.
I do a lot of shooting straight down. Do they lock down tight and what about lens creep.
I will post on other NPN forums as well.
Thanks
Joe

Joe,

I would go with the Kirk BH-3 also.
