Yes, mount it as close to balanced as you can.
I use a leveling head and not a ball head. I got sick of wearing out ballheads. Switched and have never looked back. Lost a little range of motion aiming up and down at angles . But, in Michigan not too many mountains- so it doesn’t effect me.
I use a Innorel RT90C . It has a leveling base head included. I just add a arca mount on top it’s made by Haoge . Pretty simple and not too high priced . Very sturdy and weights just under 5.5lbs
