no it does not. there is no movement of the ball in the socket once it is locked. settling is an issue that is brought about by mostly the human intervention and movement of support and lift with release. settling is not just the ballhead but the entire tripod/camera assy and how it is handled.

a very simple test for settling as in further ball movement after locking is as follows:

put your camera into position. lock up the ball as you would when ready to shoot.but do not release your load from it. have somone with a sharpie run a line on the ball right along the polymer cup that the ball is captured in so it is parallel with the cup. let the load go then. if the line tilts then send it back as there is ball slippage or you did not apply enough locking pressure. if it doesn\'t start looking elsewhere. locking pressure will vary with the junk you are putting on it. when locked up properly there is zero slippage BUT there is settling but it is from the whole legset assy being loaded/unloade from the users cradling and movement. the lighter the setup the more likely the movement. technique and care reduce/remove this issue with practice. most people though find it easier to blame the hardware
