I have used multiple different ball heads in the past and, for the price, this is the most robust and best built ball head I've found. I use it with a 65 mm spotting scope and find it to work very well - might be a bit small for an 80 mm though.

Great bit of kit, the Arca Swiss fitting was a bonus too.
Built very well and very sturdy, easy to use and the nobs do t stick or grind the ball joint moves freely with ease.
Well worth the money!

It seems more sophisticated to me than a classic kneecap. The tightening of the various wheels makes the adjustment very firm. In addition, the weight of 10 kilos supported is a guarantee of safety.

Compact and easy to use. A great complement to the K&F tripod. Ideal for travelling!

Good quality and low profile as I needed. Adjustments are smooth and easy but solid when locked.

Great piece of kit in every way. Except if you wanted to hike around or be moving a lot. It has a fair bit of weight to it and you will notice it offsetting your pack balance.
But if you plan to set up and stay put for a day of photography. Then it's a win.

This is an excellent piece of kit. However, the camera plate screw is just too short! The plate came loose far too easily when adjusting the camera angle hence four stars. Replace the screw with a standard thread length and you have a five star tripod ball head.
