What Ballhead would be best for Macro/Still Life? My 322RC2 is driving me crazy!

So basically the geared head is used about the same way a three-way/non-ballhead would work.?.

Sort of.... It has a control for each of three axes. However, unless you're holding one of the release knobs in the release position (they are spring loaded to go back to geared when you let go), the head is always locked tight in whatever position it's in. You either release an axis or rotate the knob that moves it with the gears.

None of the axes can be left loose (with your hands off the rig) like a conventional 3-way head or a ball head. There's no slipping at all.
