    i want to use this with eos r6 + 24-70/2.8, 50/2.0, 70-200/2.8, do i need to go to heavier BH-40? Weight is my main concern.
    Asked by: Wei-Chun
    The BH40 is quite a bit easier to use than the BH30 due to its tension knob, making it so when you use your 70-200 you can make it feel tighter rather than too loose or floppy. The weight difference between the heads is roughly 6 oz (11.1 versus 17.1), which isn't significant, but the size difference is quite noticeable.
