BEST Tripod ball heads for shooting?

[_MountainBum]

Snagged a used two vets tripod and am looking for input on most preferred ball heads for shooting 10 ish lb setups. Budget to more expensive. Open to suggestions!

Anvil 30 is the best. The Leofoto ma-40L and ma-30l are pretty decent for more budget. I’m curious to see what the new Leofoto/mountain forged head is like. I like levers for clamping into a rail much more than the knob. Knob works better though if you have an assortment of China arca rails that vary significantly in dimensions. The lever may be tight on some and loose on others (they can be adjusted, just frustrating). A lever tension mechanism seems to work best.
