[QUOTE="singlerosa_RIP, post: 578706, member: 15556"] I've found ballheads to be rather clunky with monopods and long teles, especially the 200-500. Too many joints to go loosey-goosey. Probably why you never see a sports photog shooting with one. I've used a gimbal and it doesn't have the disadvantages of the ballhead (the ball). Unless you need the ability to move the field of view all over the place, direct mounting the camera/lens to the monopod simplifies shooting by reducing the number of controls/knobs you have to mess with.
