Moastly, I do outdoor nature photography. My biggest lens is Tamrom 300mm /2.8. At present I use slik 700dxpro with pan-tilt. Theoritically, moving sems to be easier in case of ball head. I may stick to SLIK tripods. Max I could spend on ballhead is 150usd.
Can I mix the brands? (say slik legs & some xyz ball head).
