So, I have a Gimbal as well as a ball head. I got to wondering what the definition of gimbal was so I found the following:

​"A gimbal is a pivoted support that allows the rotation of an object about a single axis"

Isn't that what my ballhead also does? Or is the defining word here "pivotal"?

Silly question but this is what I think about when I should clearly be thinking about more pertinent things. gary
