Nice ballhead but the level is not accurate. If that was the only reason I ordered it, I would return. The ballhead itself is very nice. Would recommend for ballhead only but not for level.

I am really very impressed with this ballhead. The knobs turn very easily and clamp down well. It's easy to tell when the ballhead it firmly locked in place and the head can take a LOT of weight without budging. This isn't a lightweight piece of equipment, so I've got it on my big tripod rather than my travel tripod (both Induro). The weight is maybe the only downside. Perhaps some manufacturers can produce a ballhead of equal strength with more lightweight materials. That being said, it's the most rock solid ballhead I've used. I was really uncertain how professional this would feel for the money, but I've turned out really happily surprised.

Don't think you can get a better head for the price. Very sturdy and substantial ball head. Compared to the Leofoto LH-30, I would say the Leofoto is better in all regards except the holding power. The LH30 tends to droop down if you don't re-apply the friction control when you want to point your lens downward. Not this ball head, it holds it firmly w/o moving. The rest of the ball head is good qualify, however, not as refined as the LH30. Of course, you're talking about a $26 ball head versus the $125 one. But, if I did not have the LH30, i would not hesitate to use this one instead.The wish list:A bit lighter weight. It seems a bit too heavy compared to the LH30.The movement of the ball could be smoother, but I think it is part of the holding power.A bit lower profile. could be a plus or minus, and I Know the more expensive model is lower but costs $80+ and is also heavier. I don't want heavy ball head.FYI. I had Arca Swiss Z1, RRS BH-40, RRS BH-25, Markins Q3, so I know what I want, and this one is good enough to use with some caveats.

I purchased this ball head to replace the broken one. It took me 2 minutes to install it to tripod and worked good

this is a small ballhead which I use mainly for a small camera in the field, or attaching an audio recorder to my tripod. works great.
