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.

I attached a canon 70D with a 18-35mm ART From Signa, a very massive and heavy objective and this ball head takes it like without a problem. Based on this, I can take 99% of camera/lens configurations of enthusiast photographers!

As a straight forward Ball Head Mounting piece this is very well made and everything about it says it's a quality made item. It functions exactly as it should & I'm getting a lot of use out of it, It turns beautifully on the rotation collar, very smooth and not at all sloppy.. you can undo the locking knob right off and it will not suddenly go slack and lose the position you were at - it still turns very slowly.. good positive hold ( in a horizontal position ).

Get stiff in winter with the cold but otherwise very well!
