The Gitzo G224 is considered to be a professional, small tripod that can take a wide variety of camera weights and sizes. For many years, the Arca-Swiss Monoball B1 Ball Head had been the standard by which all other ball heads are judged.  Both used but in excellent condition and fully functional - minor cosmetic blemishes on ball head.

Product Descriptions: 

The Gitzo G224 Reporter Industrial Performance tripod has independent aluminum alloy locking legs for rougher or uneven terrain or sloping ground.  The rubber feet of the tripod give it more stability on slick surfaces without damaging surfaces such as wood floors.  This professional tripod can be used with a camera, video camera, or scope. 

One of the Arca-Swiss Monoball B1 Ball Head's differentiators is that it is an aspherical ball head. As the load on the head is moved away from center (as with a long telephoto lens), the effects of gravity increase. To offset the higher gravitational effect, tighter tension control is needed. Conventional ballheads require correcting tension control adjustments to be made. The Arca-Swiss Monoball B1 Ball Head, by virtue of its elliptical nature, automatically adjusts to handle the off-center load. The tension automatically gets tighter as you move the load off-center. Another nice feature is the indexed friction control knob. This allows you to know how tight/loose your Arca-Swiss Monoball B1 Ball Head is without having to test it. The 360 degree panning base is also indexed (helpful for panoramic shots).
