I use a ballhead becasue it is quicker for me to use in the field. Many people prefer the pan-tilt because it gives them the opportunity to change one axis at a time. Which is more stable? It's a case of size (and build-quality) matters. I use a giant Graf StudioBall which is rock solid for my lenses (300/4 is my largest lens). Some ballheads are very cheap and flimsy as are some pan/tilt heads. It's really up to your type of photography Christian
