I love the Manfrotto MOVE Quick Release System. It’s been a revelation to me. That said, if you only have a single tripod head, it’s pretty much useless. The MOVE is aimed at photographers and videographers who need to swap between heads on a support, or transfer a single head between multiple supports. And it accomplishes its aims in fine style.
Here’s the thing. Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes. Personally, I often use a ball head for quick and easy setup, and a geared 3-way head when I need precise positioning for the likes of architectural and macro shots. I also use an entirely different fluid pan head for shooting video. What I don’t want to do is to buy a separate set of tripod legs for each head – it’s just more expense and more to lug around.
