What's the verdict on grip heads? Do they hold up under the pressure and years of use?

my pistol grip is a pain in the butt with heavy setups. it just cant hold the same weight as a ballhead or tilt/pan.

most of them are great up to about 8 or so pounds of gear though. mine has not lost any of its original strength. definately fast and easy to adjust.

What's your heavy lens? I've only got a Canon 75-300 IS f/4-5.6 (for now)
