Congrats on your free tripod, Jim. Always a good thing.


In my opinion there is no such thing as a "good" $50 ballhead. I would say that you should be prepared to spend $150 on a head. Tripod heads are SO important and in my opinion this is one are you should not skimp. The $250ish Acratech Ultimate Ballhead is my recommendation, but there are cheaper heads that will do fine also. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think any good $50 heads exist, especially for a 70-200 lens. Everybody correct me if I'm wrong [:P]
