I think the only thing that is foolish is putting 1500 in gear up on something you got for 20 dollars. I would feel a lot better baout a brand name head.
Like I said, never seen it. But not sure what gear you had to put on it. The cheap QR plates I have went on my old MF bodies that are rarely used (and not worth that much). The D300's, 80-200, and the 300 2.8 have Bogen plates. As I am in full agreement with you on this subject.
Although I don't use the cheapie carbon tripod, I would.
Didn't mean to steer you completely away from the compact ball heads. Just the Grip head is so much easier to use in my opinion. But there are obviously alot of compact ball heads out there.
