To answer your question, for my photography work, I have an old original Arca-Swiss ballhead on an equally old Gitzo 4-section carbon fiber tripod. But, I think it's time for an upgrade. At least the head. For video, I gave a Sachtler FSB- 8 fluid head on a Sachtler Speedlock tripod. Both rigs have worked well for me over the years.
@MoondogReviews Buy once, cry once. LOL! I see the 'community' has discovered MILSPEC QDs. I repurposing a single point firearm sling for carrying my SEL200600G and a6700 body. It's a perfect combo.
The only thing good i will say is that it's made in the usa. Other then that, I refuse to kiss ass. My first ball head is an Arca Swiss B1. Love it but use it with out a tripod being that it's big and heavy.

You're a good example of how buying good quality gear lasts.

Ive seen a few knockoffs. Id like to know how they compare. Usa made is great. Im a USA machinist. But 5x the prices is a wild markup.
Agreed.
A good ball head cant make a wobbly tripod less wobbly
I don't know about that. But it will make it more aim-able and secure.
Nice review.
Thank you! Cheers! Hope you subscribed.
