Which is the best tripod head for macro and landscape photography

At the moment, I have the MH5001 head for my giottos MTL9361B, which is a quick release head, though great I find it a bit limiting. I feel that the release handles get in the way, because they sometimes interfere with the legs, and the quick release head doesn't have enough flexibility

This looks like a very nice macro + landscape work tripod head.

This may be a tad over your budget, and not a head you hear about often, but for me at least, it's about the best tripod head I've ever used:

I am contemplating picking up a 410. I think it would be more usefull than the Markins M10 for the way I use a tripod, still life and macro except the thing is heavy which defeats the purpose of buying my current tripod/head for travel and light weight.

Maybe I should just buy another tripod and the 410.


Bohdan - I may be, and probably am, completely wrong.
