      I agree that the Arca-Swiss Leveler 75 is pricey. I've owned too many tripod heads to count, but I found that as I started doing more macro work, I needed/wanted better control. Periodically, you can find decent-priced used ones on eBay. Manfrotto/Bogen makes some great options at a fraction of the cost. Cheers!
