I'm getting more and more interested in a Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zoom. I already have a very nice tripod setup (see my signature), but I'm drawn to something as small and as flexible as a Gorillapod. My current camera is a Canon EOS 550D (T2i), but I'm planning on buying a Sony A7II or A9 in the future. I don't intend on getting lenses heavier than 1-1,5 kg, so I guess the Gorillapod SLR-Zoom will be sturdy enough. There are multiple Joby ballheads available, but I think it adds up to the total cost in such a way that it becomes a very expensive gadget.
Since I already own one of the best ballheads on the market today (Arca-Swiss Monoball Z1 SP with Quickset Classic Device, which weighs 760 g and has a base diameter of about 7 cm), I'm wondering if I can't just use this ballhead on a Joby Gorillapad SLR-Zoom. Has anyone ever tried this combination? Or perhaps a similar combination (e.g. Joby Gorillapod SLR-Zoom in combination with a Really Right Stuff BH-55 Pro)?
