What is the difference between this G-20X ballhead and the cheaper G-20KX?

Love my G-20X Ball Head! Do not own the cheaper one so how could I compare/respond? Old adage "You get what you pay for" would be my take.

I do not own either but going by Son's info the G2 has a faster and quieter focusing motor. Check out dpreview.com for more info

Haven't used the "20" so, the only difference I can see is the grey PVC siphon tube and a "beefed up" vacuum chamber. We like these pumps. Only complaint is the discharge tube. We live in the desert and the sun destroys the discharge tube and they don't make replacements for these models. We wrapped the tube with vinyl tape to protect it. Don't know that there is $2-$3 difference in the two pumps but, we just went with the "30" model.

No, they are completely different. I have had the Sonic, so I am aware of the difference. When I purchased S450, it came with twelve heads, which will cover a long time.

I honestly have no idea. I don't think there is any difference. The cheaper one has a bunch more reviews so I'd say go for that one. Just remember the plastic part scratches pretty easily

I just realized there is a difference between the G2 and the DMC-GH2K. I've had the DMC-GH2 on order since November.

I have only used the G-15. I have a sister in law who used the G-12 while we were on vacation together.From what I can see from all the photos I have seen they are pretty close. But she lives in MD, and I live in the Midwest, so we can't compare. Hope that helps.

The ball head is very smooth. A standard head difference is very noticeable when filming. You don't get the little jerking movements with the ball head or the noise(cracking or clicking) like when trying to film something using a standard head.

These models are different looks- different spray head and the 2039 style is also taller. Please feel free to contact Goedekers if you want discuss any of the style differences and selecting the one that will best fit your needs. Melanie with Goedekers 888-768-1710

There is just the one. It's kind of small but it works okay. Overall, I really like ballhead.

I am not exactly sure the difference between the two since I only have the K3 and K1. I think the difference might be the amount of ball bearing. K2 has 3 K3 has 4. K1 is the newer one but shorter. They are GREAT!

Technically you don't need the optional ball head. You can mount your camera on the GorillaPod and adjust the flexible tripod legs to ensure your camera is level. That being said, it's a bit time consuming having to adjust the flexible legs to get your camera level for each shoot. So, having the optional ballhead is an advantage. In my opinion, I would include the optional ballhead. I have it and I recommend it. Hope this helps!

Gimbal vs. Ball Head - Gimbal Pros: Easier to keep frame orientation during movement (no tilt issues like you have using a single pivot point), don't have to "lock" the ball to keep the camera/lens stable, less work to track moving targets. No having to find the slot.Gimbal Con: Bulky/Can be More Expensive (although this product is cheaper than many ball mounts)/Heavy.

I am using a Giottos MH1000-652 Large Ball Head with Tension Control and MH652 Quick Release and it works quite well. I recommend it.

Sorry,I do not know the difference. I actually bought the GC5 short but they sent the GC3short saying that it is the same as the GC5.I use sram grip shifters and the GC3 fits perfectly.
