Q: 3. Do you think this head is enough to work with the Sony Alpha a7R IV and 200-600 set or is it better to use the Pro head?

A: While the combined weight of the A7RIV and 200-600 lens are within the weight limit of the FlexShooter Mini, the torque applied when the lens is fully extended might overpower the ballhead's grip/friction force. I'd recommend the FlexShooter Pro for larger lenses, if only just to be safe. https://bhpho.to/3mBAOz8

Q: 7. Should I get the one with the integrated ball head or the other one and get the BH-40? Some reviews say the ball-head is a compromise from other RRS ball heads

A: Depends on your desired use. If you want the tripod to be as light as possible, then get the integrated head. If you have particular taste or a favorite head like the BH-40, this would work very well with it. The BH-40 would introduce about an extra pound of weight, but the head would be more secure for large more telephoto lenses. Either way it works really well with the integrated head or the BH-40. I use the Ascend 14 with an Arca head and enjoy it. It's all a preference.
