The CB-58FTR is FLM's largest ball head, built to accept both a horizontal and vertical load of up to 130 lbs. It weighs well under 2 lbs thanks to its hollow CNC-machined ball. Photographers requiring extra precision will enjoy the tilt lock feature, allowing one to lock the side-to-side movement of the ball head, at any angle, and permitting only front-to-back movement of the ball. Panoramic shooting and stitching is easily done using the PRS knob for precise audible and tactile clicks at every 15˚ when panning. The Friction Memory Ring will lock the friction at a pre-set value, enabling the photographer to tighten the ball head further, but not loosen it any further, until the Memory Ring is dis-engaged, preventing any mishaps when attaching or removing the camera to and from the ball head.

It’s been said that no matter how long the lens is, it’s never enough. While budget, carrying convenience, and how often you might use a long lens will determine your choices, once out in the field you’ll quickly see that they’re hard to beat for wildlife, birds, special effects, and landscape work. In this article I’ll cover some things to consider when thinking about which long lens is best for you, show some examples of both fixed and variable focal length lenses, and also share some of the work I’ve done with these impressive optical tools. When I say long I mean long, and here I’ll limit my discussion to lenses that can reach out to 200mm, and beyond, focal length.
