Got 4 of them to use for some constant LED lights I have. I have not put much weight on them and as B&H likes to get these reviews right after you buy them I have not had much opportunity to use them yet. But still nothing bad has happened from them and they do what they advertise, so yay.

A solid build with a very firm hold while easy to adjust. Would recommend. I'm using it to hold my Sony a7s on a boom arm at my desk.

Yes, the Joby Quick Release Plate for Gorillapod SLR included with the Joby Ball Head for Gorillapod SLR-Zoom would also be compatible for use with the Joby BallHead 3K.
