I bought some libec legs from B&H.
B&H lists the tripod here.

Read the features and the "what's in the box" list on the right. It says half-ball.
Check these other listings. All of them state half BOWL, and the 'what's in the box' list never states anything about a half ball. The t72 I bought very clearly states a half ball. There's also one in the pic. I know it states 'optional equipment shown' but there's also a spanner in the pic, which is very clearly not included in the features and the 'in the box' list. I figured the spanner was what they meant as optional equipment not included.

My tripod of course doesn't come with the essential ball adapter. This pisses me off a little because I need to be using this tripod this weekend. I feel like I've got plenty of reason to be upset. I spent way too many hours looking for a lightweight, sturdy tripod (which this is), and really don't want to return it and start the search over. But I also got this one because I was expecting a complete system, ready to go. I really think they misrepresent what they're selling in this case. I haven't looked at every single other tripod listed on their site but the 20 or so I did look at very clearly list a half bowl when that's the case.
These guys are also the only ones selling these legs individually that I could find. I'm sure a lot of you will scoff at what's essentially a 50 dollar fix, but with the mid level spanner I also bought for 200 bucks, this is kind of salt in my financial wound.
