There is an interesting tripod head from Acratech shown in one of the
videos taken at the PMA show with gimble-type action:

Scroll down to Acratech. Quoting the page:
"Tripod heads: Somehow it always seems you need the other head on the
tripod than the one you've got. Not to mention the extra weight of
carrying two (or more) heads around with you. Check out these neat tripod
heads being shown by Acratech; they serve double duty. One combines a
normal ball-head function with slick gimble-type operation, while the
other is designed to handle monster super-teles yet also work for direct
camera mounting as well. Shawn Barnett talks with Acratech's CEO Scott
Derdick, about their new tripod heads for the outdoor photographer."

Hi Wayne,
Thanks for the link to the Acratech. Quite an interesting video. That's
certainly a new one to look out for. I just hope that the wearing surfaces
don't suffer like the ones I came across when I was searching out quality
ballheads, and before I found the gimbal head. I was amazed at how rough
most, even well known names, felt when I tried them.
