I have both of these they both werq well although the gimbal is so much smoother and more precise feeling in operation than the ball head. The gimbal also weighs a pound more.

I have an old Bogen (now owned by Manfrotto) tripod, from a thrift store, with an antique fluid head. From there I purchased a swiss Arca to Tripod adapter setup on Amazon. The tripod is strong enough for me to sit on, the fluid head hasn't been available for years, it's a true antique but it works. Total cost probably under $50,

I gave up with ball heads and lately using levelling heads only, much easier to control the bubble.

For illustration only, I am always looking to save the money if the Brand is not important.

This is the ball head I use. I like the big ol' lever vs a knob. Still has fine tension adjustment with a small knob.
