What ballhead are you using?

8 years 1 week ago #478871 by Connie K Photos
I'm buying a new tripod and ballhead.  I already know what tripod I'm getting.  I would like see what others are using.  As for budget I would like to stay under $250 for the ballhead.  I believe that should give me a healthy range of ballheads to look at.  

Thank you for your help.

My 3 legged thing pods came with ballheads. Other than those, I use a Vanguard SBH-250.

I picked up a Acratech GP ballhead used on CL for $225.  This is a bada$$ ballhead.  It looks diesel and holds everything I have put on it.

You ever get dirt in that head?  I love the design, but fearful of dirt getting into it.
