The Gitzo G1178M ballhead is light enough to travel with, but strong enough to carry loads up to 8.8 lb. With the G1178M's ergonomic design, it is easy and intuitive to use, while its advanced precision engineering guarantees high performance locking with a wide range of camera equipment.
The G1178M offers excellent locking power for its size with a single lock for rapid and reliable locking in any position.

Pros:
Nice weight and stability
Cons:
Locking knob controls both the pan & tilt
With hiking a lot the weight of my gear is pretty critical so this Ballhead looked to offer both weight and stability.
A nice weight and size for the kit bag but I failed to notice before I purchased that the one locking knob controls both the pan and the tilt which I find a little awkward to work at times.
