Anyone have a great suggestion for quick leveling ballhead for regular shooting? I have tried many over the years and have yet to find one I love in regards to quick and easy use and one that is high quality and lasting. Suggestions?

For stills I have been using an Amazon Basics pistol grip I have only ever seen it bundled with a tripod. I use it on a small Benro travel tripod as I prefer a smaller tripod for maneuvering in homes.

Ha, that's the one I currently have and it's been great..up til now. Knobs are no longer keeping the ball secured. It did last two years. So I may just get another.

@lilnitsch

Thank you. Never tried a pistol grip before.

I've had great luck with this one:




It's a bit heavier than most, which is why I bought it - to reduce vibration between HDR bracket shots.

Good Luck!
