Golly, no.
I have the MH-01, which is very similar to the MH-02. It's a great solution for a heavy lens on a monopod, but it would be a liability for landscapes and other tyipcal tripod applications, because it has no rotation, or azimuth, motion. You might be OK if your tripod has a circular centre post that you can rotate, but that's usually a very coarse adjustment. Also, you could attach it to a leveling head that allows rotation (i.e. a clamped ball), but that would throw off the level. Not good.
Whether the BH-55 is the lightest solution for a ball head depends on the weight and configuration of the gear you're going to use. A monopod tilt head is not a good alternative.
