Vanguard BBH-100 Reviews
Has limits

Well made, light weight. Clamps work well, compass clean and precise. Great auto center, once you figure it out. Odd performance in cold (29 deg) weather. Main clamp plastic liner loses grip. Just saying.
Major upgrade over BH100

Light and solid operation. Even with a 70-200 f/2.8, it stays where I set it.

question
Will the Kirk BH-1P Pouch fit this ballhead? I am certain that it will fit vertically, but I am not too sure if it would fit horizontally. The BBH-100 ballhead is much wider than it appears, once the knobs are taken into consideration. If the Kirk won't fit, what other recommendations might you have?
The case is too small for that head.There are many others that will work. These are links to some of them.http://bhpho.to/1ajTMDxhttp://bhpho.to/1kFLQxq
