I have a Sirui tripod I’ve been using for glassing only but I would like to be able to shoot off of it as well when I’m hunting so I added an arca plate to my rifle but the va5 fluid head ain’t cutting it for shooting.

I’m looking for a recommendation on a budget friendly ball head that can still pan and work decent for glassing that would fit this tripod!

I don't have as much camera/optics/shooting ball head experience as others, so take this with a lethal sized pinch of salt. But with other systems that use articulating ball clamps for positioning, a larger diameter ball will give more stability over a smaller diameter clamp with a higher build quality. Surface area of the clamp matters. So if you're trying to save some $, getting a cheaper but bigger one might give you the results you're after at the expense of weight.

Any of the Benro ball heads on our site are great for shooting off of.
