Title says it all really. I bought an SLR-zoom so am looking for a budget ball head to hold a small camera - an olympus EP2 and an equally as small lens. Nothing heavy is going on this. There are no plans for anything heavy to go on this, I would not trust it with a D300! Any suggestions? Ideally £20 or less, but can consider something more expensive, just it seems a bit of a shame to spend more on a head than the tripod is worth! Will consider chinese ebay clones if they're of good quality! Cheers.
Which budget ball head for Gorilla Pod SLR-Zoom?

I've got the joby head for it which I don't think I will ever use, I've been thinking of putting it up for sale, will have to think of a price but if I put it up in classified would you be interested?
I hope I'm not breaking any rules by asking this....

Im not going to say its great either but for me it is really useful as a lightweight head to go with the gorillapod as I travel a lot. Actually I did al little mini experiment yesterday, I compared the steadiness of the gorillapod with my b-1 head (about as sturdy as you can get!) with he joby head, and surprisingly it seems that the joby head produced less vibrations and less time to settle- but it seems like whatever goes you use he gorillapod produces a lot of wobble before I settles down.
