Default Foba vs Linhof

Ball head that is I'm talking about. I've tried Linhof and fell in love but someone is selling a Foba here. Anyone here ever uses that before?

Foba are top of the line camera support system you can buy. People who have broncolor, sinar will have a high chance own some kind of Foba stand or tripod heads or support rigs.

FOBA better than Linhof, much better.

Linhof is the best, in camera only, not accessories.

If you buy Foba and want to junk your Linhof at a "much worse" (say 1/10th) price. Let me know. Not need to advertise in Buy Sell. Just PM me. You can keep the "much better" Foba. Give me a Linhof anyday.

Sure, I'll let the rental house in Bangkok know about this. I rented from them the other time.

This is a bit of an apples vs oranges question to be honest. The big Linhof profiball's are as good as any of the other top end ballheads eg: Arca's, Graf Studioballs, Foba Superballs etc and come with a price tag to match. The smaller Foba's on the other hand suffer severe creep when tightened.

In the end your question is too broad and you need to be far more specific when asking questions about ballheads.
