i had a B1 with the aspheric ball. in the long run it really didn\'t make a world of difference at all. sounds cool but really has minimal effect.
i then went to markins and i\'ve been at RRS since they came out.
Interesting.
I seems to make a difference for me.
Maybe it works better in the Z1?
It\'s not a \"world of difference\" of course, but I do notice the extra tension when tilted that offsets the additional weight when off-center. Or maybe it\'s just in my head (pun intended).
I have tried, but haven\'t bought either the Markins M20 or RRS BH50. Maybe they work the same.
I also have the Markins Q3, and I find the Z1 easier to set the tension just right. This simply be a factor of it\'s larger size, or maybe the aspherical design.
But like I said previously, any of the choices are excellent. It really is just a matter of personal preference more than better performance.
