and thought it might be quite handy to use with my gorilla pod, anyone had any experience with these, or can recommend a cost effective ball head?

Would it be able to handle the weight adequately?

I would suspect not.

Tiny lightweight professional ball head suitable for loads up to 3KG.

AT the Focus on Imaging show I looked at the Gorilla pods and I didn't know it but there are 3 different ones depending on weight being used on them.

see 3kg seems a lot to me. I have the SLR gorilla pod, but without a ball head its slightly pointless, as I spend all my time getting the legs level without a ball head.

the ball head might topple the Gorilla over - there are different gorillas for DSLRs; the ones Asda had on sale just after xmas are only good for compact digis. Check the weighting limit on your gorilla Dan as adding inches up will possibly affect the over all balance.

pretty sure it should be okay. Its quite a big gorilla pod, and it currently holds my slr, battery grip and lens fine.
