    expensive ballhead for scope?

    I currently have a Manfrotto 486 ballhead for my Swarovski 80 scope. I like the idea of ballheads for their compactness and the light weight of this model. I'm not too happy with the friction of this one though. It locks very well but it goes to floppy too easily. I'm considering going for a...
