I use a ballhead and tripod when I want something steadier then my hands. Having a rubbberized head defeats the purpose.
Just my 2c.

That would be funny to take a 10 second shot holding it sideways and letting it go! :lol:

I'm sorry, but I just don't get why anyone would use such a "head." :roll:

I'm sorry I am not gonna hang my 70-200/4L off of that thing and let it fling :)

Ball heads are expensive because of how complex the counterweight system is (so your lens doesnt hit the tripod falling). You can go out and spend 50-75 bux on a really good 3d pan & tilt head that will meet 90% of your needs. I have a 329 RC4 head that works well and you can keep enough tension on the head to move it in any direction with a little help.

Well i figured there was a reason it was only $10-$15 :lol:

I've got it! it was side packed at my manfrotto monopod. but I can say, just forget it! its not usefull. it provides no stability....
