[QUOTE="desmobob, post: 776511, member: 45742"] I have an Arca Swiss B1 w/QR that I've enjoyed for many years on a heavy aluminum Bogen tripod. Before the B1, I used a Bogen 3025 3-D head, which I still have. Last year I upgraded the old Bogen 3401 leg set to a nice Benro TMA38CL carbon tripod with thoughts of taking it along more on hikes. I love the B1 head, but it's heavy. (I'm 6'2" 260lbs so carrying the weight won't kill me...) I was thinking about buying a small, inexpensive ballhead to use for hiking. Are any of the sub-$100 lightweight ballheads worth bothering with or should I just suck it up and carry the B1 on my my new Benro legset? Or use the Bogen 3025 instead of a ball? Just thinking out loud... please feel free to share your thoughts. I'd appreciate it! [/QUOTE]
