Because of that, it makes the positioning of everything kind of sticky. I'm assuming another ball head that has a higher weight capacity will likely be smoother in action than this.

I have this one, and cannot say I'm a big fan. Thinking about throwing it on Craigslist and buying another tripid/head setup. Thanks for starting this thread, looking forward to seeing what people has as far as feedback is concerned.
