I'm surprised more manufacturers aren't going to a more simple, open design like Acratech has. Maybe patents prevent that? No need to worry about gunk, sand, water, or anything else with an open design. It all falls out on its own and the ball can be wiped clean without disassembly, plus you get a huge savings on weight.
That was not my experience. The Acratech collects more junk than a normal ball head and it doesn't come off without cleaning. Maybe the ball wipes off, but the other parts require more effort than I like. I don't doubt there are scenarios where a small head of open design is the best choice. In any event, the Acratech ball heads (38 mm) are comparable to the Kirk BH-3 or RRS BH-40 size, not a BH-55.
