its kind of a mixture much smoother than a normal ball head, I have a pano plate between the tripod and magic ball and a Qmount arca style adapter on top
If i'm shooting with the 600 then i change it out for a gimbal

yeah the ball has nylon grip plates so you can finely tweak the tension to provide as much or little resistance as you want, then there is an on off lever for quickly locking unlocking so you can keep your fine tension the same
the pano plate on the bottom is sweet for being able to pan etc too
the magic ball mini does not have the quick release component though and cant hold as much weight
still is quite fine with a 70-200 and 5Dmk2 on it but for bigger stuff the full size one is best
not the cheapest setup but super super solid it can hold the 600 lens and 1D easily however its just not balanced so i use a gimbal which is more stable
