When I started up with landscape photos I invested in a Induro tripod with a 3 way head. The most popular photos I sell to clients are all taken with the 1Ds III and a Canon 17-40mm f/4 on this Induro tripod and 3 way head. Unfortunately this 3 way head was not the best quality. it was the low end of price range. Add to it that I did use it alot. In the end the arms that you adjust the 3 way head angles stoped functioning. It also did not have a arca swiss mount. After this 3 way head stop functioning I invested in arca swiss ballheads. I’ve used ballheads for a long period now. They are great and have their use. And I currently have the Gitzo GH3382QD. Great ballhead by all means, but for me it is not ideal when I shoot landscapes. The reason is that when I need to make small adjustments fast, I almost always fail, when using a ballhead. My new purchase is the Benro GD3WH Geared Head. This has a arca swiss plate that allows me to use my L-plate from 3 legged thing. Benro 3 way geared head allows me to make small adjustments fast, is well made, and do not have long arms that easily breaks like the induro one I used to have. Highly recommend you trying this geared 3 way head if you are doing landscapes most of the time. It has brought back the joy of taking landscapes for me. Little did I know that the ease of use of the 3 way head and the cumbersome ballhead had this much impact on the experience of taking landscape photos, and maybe that also shows in the end product.
