I'm not exactly sure what the lightest head is since I really haven't looked at another tripod in about 3 years but I use a 3 Legged Thing plus Airhead 1 combo for travel.Suggestions for a light weight and versatile ballhead to go with a light weight carbon monopod would be appreciated.

If you're looking for a full-size ballhead, the Acratech Ultimate Ballhead is hard to beat on light weight, compactness, and versatility. The Markins Emilié Q3 is in the same range.Suggestions for a light weight and versatile ballhead to go with a light weight carbon monopod would be appreciated. Add links if available.

I'd completely forgotten about the Sirui T-025X. I have that combination exactly. It's a very small kit and quite versatile, pretty sturdy for its size and weight. It fits in the zipped-closed water bottle pocket in my larger cycling backpack ... you barely even notice it's there.Thanks all, again for your kind information!
Graham, Thanks a bunch for pointing to the Sirui! It appears that a Sirui T-025X (carbon) with a C-10S (880gms total, 34cm folded with the head) would suit me.
FWIW, I have several tripods from the past, including a Sachtler with a 100mm bowl and suitable heads. All too heavy and not fit for my current miniature back pack that carries my compact Sony gear.
