The second version of iOptron's SkyTracker Ball Head is an independently-adjustable pan and tilt mounting platform for the SkyTracker Camera Mount. The included 2.25 x 1.5" quick release plate has a series of non-marking pads to protect the base of the SkyTracker from scratches, and the 1/4"-20 mounting screw has a foldable D-ring to secure the SkyTracker to the QR plate without tools. Redundant plate locks and a 1.5" aluminum ball provide this head with the features needed to help keep your rig from accidentally slipping off the mounting system.

I'm not sure of the term for the slot for vertical movement. But, is that slot on the front and back of the head?
The notches in the front and back of the iOptron SkyTracker Ball Head v2 allow the camera to be positioned vertical for portrait photos. This is a common feature found on most ball heads, not just an iOptron head.

Is this any different than a normal ball head? Can I just use one of my regular ball heads with the star tracker?

Will this ball head fit a telescope vixen dovetail?
Yes, I believe it will. But, check first. The Vixen is fairly narrow. The Losmandy, for example , is not. My 2 cents.

Where is the second bubble level? I can't tell if it's on the adjustment knob, like others I've seen.
The 2nd bubble is not pictured but it is on the knob for the vertical/horizontal control.
