2 things to watch out for with these tripod-ball head combos if you intend to use the scope at high powers (speaking from experience here):

- make sure the interface between the tripod legs and the head is wide and rigid, e.g. the "flanges" you find on some - this one appears to have a narrow "neck" between them. This will produce flex which is inconsequential for photography but a major PITA for keeping a telescope on target
- The bigger the ball, the smoother the operation - this one looks to be on the small side.
