I purchased the Slik CF-834 tripod, on sale at BHphoto, but it didnt came with a ball head. The specs on the ball head were appealing at the price point.
from reviews of the PD tripod I got a sense of that one. The Heipi is well built, tripod and subtripod seem sturdy enough. It does have some weight to it which assures me quality (only time will tell) only dislike is the leg locks. Very stiff and the last one (near the rubber foot) is the hardest to lock. I have to lock it separately than the rest.
Why did you get a duplicate ball head?
