Re: Ball Head question- large glass
My favorite ball head is the Arca Swiss P1+, it has an aspherical ball, which increases resistance as the ball tilts. It's an inverted ball head.
I use the Leofoto MPG-01 on my monopod, I've never tried locking it down.
Another idea that comes to mind is the Acratech Long Lens Head. I'm not sure if you can lock it down as completely as a ball head though either.
