I wish it bent 90 degrees in all directions but I knew it didn’t and am satisfied with my purchase.

This looks more sophisticated to me than a regular ball joint. The tightening of the different knobs makes the adjustment very firm. In addition the 10 kilos weight supported is a guarantee of safety.

It is exactly the same product with another brand name worth up to three times the price.

Holds up my Canon EOS M50 just fine. I also like that it came with an adapter. When I tried to screw the ball head on my tripod, it was too big. I was frustrated as I really needed to use the ball head and I was thinking I had to return it. But then I found the adapter in the package, screwed it into the ball head, then attached to my tripod. Easy peasy.

I bought this because my old ball head on my travel tripod began to fail and while I contemplated buying a whole new tripod, I thought this might do the job. I am very happy with this purchase. While I am not a photography gear snob, I often invest in better gear because there is usually a reason that something is cheap. That being said I photograph waterfalls and do long exposure photography and I cannot have my camera slip at all. I’m happy with this company (check out their filters) and purchase. The controls are smooth and easy. Recommend.

For a gimbal, the head is relatively inexpensive. The only puzzling thing is that the load capacity is given as 20kg at K&F and 13.6kg at Neewer, although it is apparently the same product (at almost the same price). In the manual, the specified load capacity is directly related to the variable damping. According to this, a camera weighing up to 13.6kg should be held in position. The load limit of 20kg is probably meant.

I have a Canon 70D with an 18-35mm ART from Signa attached, a very massive and heavy lens and this ball head takes it without issue. Based on this, I can take 99% of camera / lens configurations of enthusiast photographers!

Awesome, I added this to my regular tripod and it worked perfect, makes it easy to clamp in or out of the tripod and point in any direction including up for astrophotographers :)
