I was gonna wait for the tripod and decided to pass, I ordered the same Vanguard VEO2 PH-25 head on an Amazon sale and went ahead with a carbon fiber Sirui AM-025K (12-52") instead of Black Ovis (11-31").
VEO2 PH-25: 10.0oz (obviously same weight on Black Ovis since identical)
Sirui AM-025k: 24.5oz (removed ball head and 0.5oz of foam on 2 legs)
Remove bottom two legs section to save ~2.2 + 2.6oz (39" high) = 19.7oz (need to add rubber caps to cover removed legs).... (31" high Black Ovis is 20.7oz)
Center column weighs 2.5oz it's 8" not extended and 14" extended... I haven't removed this. gonna play around with it vs adding legs.
So in summary I am pretty much the same weight as Black Ovis, greater flexibilty to add ~20" of height for specific hunting trips and also have a ball head to switch out with panhead (or sell) for only ~$40 more.
