[QUOTE="aaronoto, post: 1587513, member: 107078"] Arca rail all day every day over a vice type attachment (i.e. Hog/Pig saddle or RRS Vyce). The connection point is just so much more solid with a rail integrated into your stock foreend. Downside is you can't just easily throw an arca rail on any stock. Ballhead, leveling base, or RRS Anvil is personal preference for the most part, but I think most will say leveling base is a little more solid. You don't get the angle with a leveling base that you do with a ballhead or Anvil though. Personally I chose ballhead and I'm running optics off the same tripod that I shoot off of. If you have the cash to go with a RRS, but all means do it, You're not just paying for the quality, you'll find their tripods are considerably lighter then others in the same weight class. If you're on a budget check out Leofoto. I'm running this setup and have been very happy with it. Small, compact, and light!
