[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 2702979, member: 115285"] Several years ago I bought the RRS BH55 with the Arca/Pic rail QD adapter. Loved it, however it was before they came out with the Anvil30. My opinion is that the BH55 is big and bulky, and a bit cumbersome to pan with if you don't have the tripod level. I inverted my BH55, now I can quickly set up the tripod without leveling it, point and level my rifle at the target then tighten the ball clamp. Now I can use the pan feature on the BH55 because it is on the top (rifle side) of the ball head. See the attached photo. The Anvil30 does not have a panning feature that I am aware of, but the rifle is much closer to the ball center than the BH55 so it doesn't flop around as bad. I would buy the Anvil30 if I were doing a lot of tripod shooting, especially in the field, but my modified BH55 works incredibly well for me.[ATTACH type="full"]423679[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]423680[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
