Ball Head for Monopod

[kitjv]

I have a Slik Pro Pod 382CF monopod & am in need of a recommendation for a ball head. The head will support up to a maximum weight of 5 lbs. And since the reason I bought the 382CF monopod was for it's light weight, I am looking for a ball head that is lightweight as well.

Thank you for any recommendations. I appreciate it.

The Manfrotto 234 would be my pick. This is the same as the above but without the QR plate built in so that you can use whatever QR system you like.

The reason for a tilt head over a ball head on a monopod is that a ball head is harder to control on a monopod. You can simply deal with rotation on a monopod by twisting the monopod with your wrist. You then only need tilt to place the lens on target.

Thank you
