FIRST POST!!!
Ok so im a photo student and despite my wishes for no one to buy me any photo equipment my dad got me a Manfrotto tripod(around 150$). So this has forced me into this situation.
Should I get a ball head for under 150$ just for now and later on when I have more money get the one I really want, the Arcatech GP. 399$ not including QR plate.
OR, save the 150$ until I get another 150$ to put towards the GP. I could get by without the head for now but I was wondering what everyone thinks.
Because he got me this tripod now my problem is should I get the low end ball head to match up with the quality of the tripod, because whats the point of getting a G2 and having sit on those legs?
So in summary I would say im stuck. I can get a Photo Clam for around 150$ My networking skills are strong and I get offers to do a lot of freelance work so im thinking should I get the good Arcatech legs and head for 1200$ or see if I can work with the Manfrotto legs and photo clam head for now.
Any insight would really help.

p.s. I have looked at a lot of other ball heads and the range of motion is just well, lacking. When I saw the design of the GP I fell in love with the design principles.
