Does this tripod have a ball head for easy movement of a Orion Apex 102mm scope?

No it does not have a ball head but it has a very fluid feel to it and works great on my Redfield scope great tripod for the price you can't hardly beat it I've seen more expensive ones not work as well as these do

yes it does come with a tripod. for astrophotography, you will need some other accessories like t rings and adapters.

Yes but you have to remove the "V" first. I got a cheap extra tripod that I leave my spotting scope attached to.

I gave the tripod to my son-in-law who uses it primarily with a spotting scope. He says he is very happy with it. His scope has an angled eye piece.truwheels

no it does not, prostaff scopes are as basic as they get, elevation and drift is all you get. still a great scope for small game hunting though. Crystal clear image.

Yes, Ball head is included. I use with Nikon D7100. You might want to consider a bag to carry it in.

I really don't see the need for the ball head on a P&S camera. You pretty much have full movement for positioning the camera when mounted to the magnetic version. I have no regrets with the purchase of this item.

Yes it is, but you will need a heavy-duty tripod to lessen induced motion and a pistol-grip head to easily control your aim. Otherwise, your hands will get tired and your ability to hold it steady decreases the longer you hold it by hand

I have one. I am sure it does. If not you could return it. It also attaches to Tripods. I highly recommend it. Every time I wear it, and I wear it constantly I have people come up and ask me where I got it. I love it.

Nah. It doesn't. I matched up the mount on my tripod so i don't have to fiddle with stuff during a shoot. I use one of those fluid manfrotto trigger heads. The trigger makes it quick to position and then start shooting. The tilt and panning heads take an extra step to tighten the joints. Trigger's better.

Not necessarily but if you want the ability to quickly remove the monopod then you will need a ball head with a quick release feature!

No, this is the ball mount version. You will have to get something along the lines of a Manfrotto 501HD head since it has a flat mount.

The item comes with an all weather cover that fits over the scope w/ lens hoods. But no tripod.

I believe it's Swiss Arca style but not Swiss Arca compatible, if that makes sense. The ballhead is detachable from the legs, though, so if I have a different plate on a camera, easy enough to detach the ballhead and screw on one of my Manfrotto heads. (3/8" mounting screw.) Still a pretty good head, and the tripod legs alone are worth the price for the light weight, compact size, and load capacity.

Yes, the ball head is screwed on the tripod via a 3/8 inch thread screw, you certainly can replace it with somethingelse.

Sir. I have no idea about various heads that you can use with this tripod. It depends on what you are going to put on the head. Is it a camera lens? spotting scope? I use a very old Swiss-Arca Mono-Ball. I put a 300mm f/2.8 lens and camera on it as well as various other camera/lens combinations.

Yes. I have that tripod and have used both that ball head as well as the 327RC2 joystick. Very happy with the Manfrotto line.
