do you guys have shop who selling cheaper or good quality ballhead to suggest?
Let me know the price and location if possible thnx
If you are new, and haven't really got a budget, then go ahead and pick up something cheap. Unfortunately good ballheads are one of those things that just don't come cheap, and compromises will be made if you get anything significantly cheaper than the Markins you looked at.
If you are just starting out though, or your budget is not flexible, then get something cheapish and work with that and see how you get on.

You did not mention what features you need, also what is cheap is relative.
For starters, you can consider the following:
1. Manfrotto 488rc2
2. Vanguard SBH-100
3. Benro K-2
These are under S$200.

IIRC should be around 430 from TK Photo...
The Karingpoche (sometimes called 'Currypok' by some) balls are quite nice for the price. CP, OP.
A lot depends on your set-up and needs ... and if you need precision adjustments (e.g., for macro or architecture), speed and convenience and consistency, then the likely scenario is that most cheaper balls are going to disappoint to some extent or another.
You don't mention exactly why you need or want a ball. Would a 3-way be a viable option? Very good ones can be had for less than $200, and is usually more secure and stable than balls costing twice as much.
