This Arca Swiss Monoball Z1 SP w/Fip-Lock is simply the best tripod head that I've ever used. Having tried so many different heads for the past 20 years, I must say that this ballhead is the answer to all my previous problems!

The ballhead is very light-weight, strong, extremely silky smooth, and holds super heavy equipment without any problem. I can turn the knob with very little force, and everything is held tightly, rock-solid!!

When I figure out the "sweetspots" for different lenses, picture composition can't be easier. Just move the camera wherever you want under the sweetspot setting of the tension control, and then turn the scale slight more my 1/2 or one scale mark, the head is locked ... absolutely firmly without the slightest movement of any kind. Should be ideal for macro photography as well thought I still haven't got time trying this out yet.

My only negative feeling about this ballhead is more on the cosmetics side. The rubber ring on the knob doesn't look professional and the build should have room for improvement. But this doesn't cause any impact on the stability and easy of control whatsoever of the knob. Certainly it would be nice if the ring looks even better! :-)

If you're looking for a real high-quality ballhead, this is the one. Don't waste time trying out others like what I had been doing.
