The Monoball Z1 is the latest in Arca-Swiss’s line of ballheads. It pairs a high load capacity (150lbs) with low weight (1.5lbs), and a novel solution to having to constantly adjust the tension on the ball as the camera is shifted.
Benro’s Travel Angel FTA28CC is a light weight carbon fiber travel tripod that collapses to a compact 17″ not including a head, and still stands an impressive 61″ when fully extended.
Quick to adjust, and solid when tightened down, the GS3512S center column makes it easy to make vertical adjustments to camera positions without worrying too much about vibrations.
One of Manfrotto’s smallest, lightest, least expensive, and lowest weight fluid heads provides smooth pan and tilt movements when shooting video. Best used with light cameras.
The Oben CTM-2500 is a rare breed in mono-pods as it’s able to extend to 65″ (165 cm) and still collapse to a mere 17″ (43 cm), of course it’s carbon fiber so it’s light and it uses twist locks similar to Gitzo tripods too.
Really Right Stuff’s biggest, strongest, heaviest, and most expensive, ballhead; and preforms like you would expect, superbly.
