Suggest ball head for Feisol 3442 tripod. PRS

[Danattherock]

My ball head, older Photoclam, isn't working well, locked up. Need new ball head that may support 18-20 lb rifle occasionally. I'm primarily using this tripod for rear support using the legs and to a lesser extent a tac table for lower positional stages.

Long-term plan would be to upgrade tripod to something beefier with the really Right stuff leveling head. But for the time being trying to find a ball head to get more use out of this current tripod in PRS matches.

Only requirements are that it be under $300, fit 3/8" thread, and have an arca/dovetail clamp. I will use it occasionally with the rifle mounted but primarily using this tripod for my Bushnell LMSS 8-45 spotting scope and as a secondary means of support.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks. I was emailing Fred at bison tactical just now about the anvil 30 ball head. not sure if the universal leveling head or the anvil 30 would suit my needs best.

dan i picked up a rrs 40 head and i have the same tripod as you, i also bought a rrs vice an i am very happy with the setup. i wanted to go as light as i could as i use it for work and hunting. i have 2 spotters a luppy and a swaro str it works fine with the luppy but when i put the swaro on it, it is ha to make fine adjustments and i worry about it falling over i guess its just me and what i paid for the swaro. if i use a gun on it with the vice its fine but i stay their with it and it supports the weight of a tac rifle and i do shoot good groups off it but i am going to buy a rrs and anvil head down the road.

The sunwayfoto GNN XB-44DL (around 250$) or GNN XB-52DL (around 300$) could get the job done easily! Their weight rating are 40 and 60kg respectively witch translate in a very smooth operating and long durability.
