Initially I wanted a quick adjust Fastbowl tripod head. IFOOTAGE TC7 Tripod, 155cm Carbon Fiber Video Camera Tripod with Quick Fastbowl https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07N69DK7R/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=fuxfo-21&linkCode=w00&linkId=&creativeASIN=B07N69DK7R I saw it in a video by Thomas Heaton and he has one. Is the "fastbowl" feature useful? After a bit more research I found this tripod. Neewer 64" Video Camera Tripod Aluminum Alloy with 360 Degree Fluid Drag Head (and Fastbowl). Neewer 64" Video Camera Tripod It has just arrived. I have to say that the tripod is probably the best tripod that I have used/seen. Yes it is large and being aluminium so it isnt as light as a carbon fibre version. The quality of build is superb. I still have to use but for £90 it is a steal.

Looks good but far more tripod than I currently need. I have some flash triggers and a wireless remote from Neewer and they too are well built and seem to work well.

Looks like a solid tripod a bit heavy for me though.

I felt the need for a new tripod as my Manfrotto 55CX is in Spain.

I wonder if I could get away with that logic since my horse is in Italy?

It would be a damn sight cheaper to keep though...

As for the original question, "Is a levelling ball head tripod desirable?" I don't see the point. It's extremely easy to get any tripod top exactly level by adjusting the leg length, takes but a few seconds to adjust. Probably quicker than using the 'Quick Ball' given that adjusting the quick ball is an additional step. I can't understand the need (for the quick ball). I adjust the tripod head for level almost every time I erect my tripod, unless of course I want it out of level.
