I think the whole issue is really more about what you are trying to shoot and what camera is on the pod. I can't imagine trying to wrestle with a ball head under my 300 2.8; I use the Kirk mono-head. However, I can certainly see the flexibility of a ballhead with a smaller lens, especially for run and gun situations outside the normal "sports" etc scenarios. Kinda like having an umbrella bracket on a small stand for a speedlight, even if you don't use the umbrella... it gives you options and flexibility.

Hi Paul,
I'm planning on using my Nikon Df and my manual focus Zeiss 135 f/2 APO on the monopod. Situations may include low light shooting where I want to slow the shutter speed some and hopefully the monopod will resist any camera shake/motion blur. I also love walking trails alongs rivers and lakes with my Golden Retriever where the terrain is uneven or I'm out on rocks, etc and bringing a tripod is too heavy and cumbersome/time consuming to set up. Other scenarios will be in dimly lit jazz clubs photographing the musicians as they perform. Basically looking for some stability/support that is quick and easy and lighter than a tripod set up.
