One minor detail ...I for got the NAME! Adjustment is done by
applying/releasing pressure to a ball (hence the name) which the camera is
mounted on. C.

Herr Weibel:
A ball head, as opposed to a bald head, is a device that fits on top of a
tripod or monopod, and allows a limited amount of camera movement, usually
either landscape or portrait orientation, without the "inconvenience" of
schlepping a tripod around. Not as steady. A little faster than adjusting a
tripod.
They are also known as "dump heads" for when you forget to tighten the ball,
and it lets your camera /lens bash against the head , tripod or monopod it is
mounted on. They come is all sizes, from small, useful for positioning flash
units, to larger ones for cameras/loooong tele lenses, and most are frightfully
expensive.
I have observed Ray's set-up, and frankly, am envious of his sharpness. (the
photos...the PHOTOS!) I wondered if just maybe, if something similar might help
the sharpness of my images just a little bit. (The sincerest form of
flattery, and all that... ) Maybe there's no hope. But, I would like to try a
cheapie on my monopod, just to see...
Anyhow, now that I have told you how to build the whole bicycle when all you
wanted was to change the tire, you know all I do about ball heads.

OK, I will bite. What is a ball head? Please do not tell me if it has
anything that qualifies in the area of what Paul called me Saturday,
"Technologically Challenged".
I do have a Ball Jar.

Ratpack-bounce is where the repost came from when you posted a non-subscribed
address. I had to manually authorize the post. I wrote you at the time and
asked which address you wanted to use, but you didn't reply, so I subscribed
both addresses, which probably explains why you're getting two copies of every
message.
Again, let me know which one you want and I'll fix it up.
I'm on the salt at the moment, so it might take me a while. Gonna be here all
week.
