#photography nerditry:

I’ve been playing with the Rogeti RG1 geared tripod head, and I’m liking it more than I expected to. Rogeti is a small specialized Chinese manufacturer; the tripod head is their flagship product. Compared with the Arca C1 Cube (my go-to), it’s a bit smaller and lighter, but the thing that’s really growing on me is the interchangeable modules for z-axis (panning) movements.

It’s not cheap (about USD900), and there are a few annoying quirks, but I’m using it more and more.

    @mattblaze@federate.social what a coincidence. Just this morning I was doing more research on reports and reviews as I’m looking for new geared head myself. There are very few reviews or even just comments on forums by people who have used more than a single of of those heads. Was looking for reports on the Rogeti and Linhof heads, but found no direct comparisons. This mini thread of yours is helpful - to me at least. Thanks for sharing! Wondering how long you’ve been using the RG-1 so far?
