What do you mostly shoot? If it's stills, then a ball head. If it's wildlife and birds then definitely a gimbal head. You can't go wrong with the wimberley head.

Mostly wildlife. Some landscape. And I have both ball and gimbal heads. My question really was whether anyone was using a Flexshooter and were they happy with it. Advantage when you travel because you have 2 heads in 1.

I shoot mostly birds and had previously tried large ballheads and also a carbon fiber gimbal, but have now switched to the Flexshooter Pro. I really like it for me and my style of use. It is not as heavy and not as cumbersome to lug out to the field. I do think they are a bit overpriced but then again I find that to be true with most photography related gear. I was most pleased using it in a porta blind mounted on a Induro 404L tripod with my D850 and a 600mm f4 lens. It is quick and easy to balance the rig and I had no worries with it. My gimbal has sat on the shelf ever since! (For more insight watch Arthur Morris in his youtube videos on the Flexshooter Pro, that's what sold me.)

I've used the UniqBall for years - predecessor to the Flexshooter. It's no gimbal - the freedom of movement is very different. It's great for landscape work because you don't have to level the tripod with the legs, and it's ok for panorama's (it rotates but not very smoothly). The bad part is that it's hard to use switching between the camera and a lens, as the direction of the Arca-Swiss plates are different and that requires you to use a x-shaped plate which loses stability. It's also not very durable....I've just replaced mine!
