Aluminum Alloy 360 Degree Panoramic Gimbal Tripod Head with 1/4'' Standard Quick Release Plate
SKU: KF31.033
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 ).

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!

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.

The most important feature of a balhead is that the set positions can be firmly hold with no sliding or shifting whatsoever. The second most important is the easiness to set a position. this balhead is quite good in both departments, at least up to 2kg loads. In addition, it is not bulky nor heavy and quite cheap. The only downside is that the command of the balhead position is partly plastic and I have read on others review that it could break. Thus I am cautious and use the minimum of force to tighten the ball lock.
All in all, I am quite satisfied with that balhead

I own the following tripod: Rangers camera tripod, 141cm aluminum travel tripod photo tripod with 360° panorama ball head, ultra compact and lightweight design, ideal for travel and outdoor photography
Unfortunately, I had to invest in a new ball head due to the loss of the quick-release plate (there is probably no extra). After contacting and asking, I was assured that this also fits the tripod described above. -> everything fine. Now I can use everything again.
Thanks for the good information.

The varied weight difference between Amazon ad and it's manual and the loose bolt at its base that makes the vertical arm wobble up and down
