[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 617478, member: 7240"] Ballhead shortlist is very short in my books. Arca-Swiss Monoball Z1, Kirk BH-1 or Markins Q20. Buy a good one, buy only once. For bigger lenses consider getting a gimbal in addition to a ball. I use Arca-Swiss Monoball B1 which is the predecessor to the current Z1. Well-built, smooth, tiltable panning head, with finely adjustable tension. Rated for 59 kg = 130 lb. Has seen heavy use for 20 years and looks and operates like new. And it is compatible with Arca-Swiss quick release plates. :) For long lenses I prefer Wimberley WH-200 II gimbal instead, because it makes long lenses weightless. [/QUOTE]
