I do use one of those too. The problem with ball heads is it's rather
difficult to control the adjustment on just one axis. ie I may only
need to adjust the pitch. But correcting that could throw one, or
both, of the other axis out.
I've tried, but I usually ended up chasing my tail. That's why I stick
to pan/tilt heads.
While looking for something else, I found Manfrotto makes a leveling
adapter that appears to go between the tripod center column and whatever
head you mount.
