Maybe one of these - not cheap but not crazy money.

That's what I use
I have a couple of Beike ball heads that I bought on Amazon and I'm very pleased with the quality, can't really fault them at all.

LBA is good for you, a Lens a day helps you work, rest and play.

They look just the job. As soon as I work out why I need one I'll be placing an order

I've got the Lensmaster one and it is fantastic. Once you've used one you'll love it. The benefit is it instantly moves from any position to any other without having to touch any control knobs or levers. It just stays put where you put it. It is really for shots where you are constantly re-positioning the camera rapidly, like wildlife shots in particular but I see no reason why it wouldn't be good for other types of shot. Downside against other heads are it is heavy and bulky and my version requires a rotating lens clamp to side mount it , but not all do.

Next question. If you have would you be willing to take and send me a few photos of it from many different angles with some sizes. Ht. L. w. bearing size etc. etc.
My pension doesn't run to some of the crazy prices they are asking for some of them so I thought as a winter project I might have a go at making (fabricating) one.
