This kind of ball head is originally from Novoflex's magicball ball head but Leofoto made a little bit different version. This is meant for using a rifle but can also be used for cameras. I would say Leofoto version is better cause it needs to withstand gun's impact and vibration. Unlike a normal ball head, MH series are easy and yet quick to use. The top plate is not rotable but you can switch the orientation. But they also have a version with a panning head which is not available on this website. The top plate is quite bothering if you dont use a telephoto lens or I would suggest you to get a panning head to replace it.
The only issue I see is the panning base with a screw. It bothers me a lot and I dont think you need a panning base at all. If you need a panning base for panorama or something else, then you better get geared head instead but it's useless anyway. But it seems Leofoto made another version call MH-S without a panning head so I would suggest to get those, not normal version.
Overall it's great but a few issues are bothering. Getting MH-S version with a panning clamp is the great option so far but it will cost much more.
