Thanks, Larry - those are two very good suggestions. The Induro BHD1 looks to be very close to what I want. It doesn't have a lever lock per se, but the knob is looks to be pretty large with good grips, so it should work even with gloves. I'll be taking a closer look at the Induro line up.

Have you checked benro/induro?  They are a great value, I go a couple of sizes 
up on the name brands and drill save money.

I'm looking to replace my old Bogen Manfrotto Grip Action ball head
(3265). The ideal would be a ball head with a load capacity of at least

13 lb (the max that the legs it will be mounted on), panning base,
lever
based lock for the ball head (I find knobs to be too fiddly, especially

wen wearing gloves), arca swiss plate system and reasonably light
weight.

It seems that wanting a lever vs knob knocks out a lot of heads.
Manfrotto has a lot of lever models but they do not use arca swiss
plates. Really Right Stuff has a few but they are 2x-3x the cost of
other brands. There is an inexpensive "Vanguard" brand that meets all
of
my requirements, but its a brand I never heard of and is very
inexpensive, so I have doubts....

Any thoughts?
