You can spend more money for a plastic spring loaded 'quick action' grip but I would rather save the money, have more reliability and rigidity and the large hex shaped metal quick release plate!!!

I have a Slik tripod with a 1/4" in mounting screw. The Bogen has a 3/8", which is good, but I still had to get an adaptor for my tripod. Check your tripod mount to make sure it'll work when your ballhead arrives.

 
Should have bought this years ago!
By tedretVerified Reviewer from Salem, Oregon on 8/20/2007
Pros:
Attaches Firmly, Good Stability, Large Range of Motion, Robust built, Strong Clamp
Best Uses:
Long Exposures, Marco, Stabilization
Describe Yourself:
Retired teacher, Semi-Pro
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Wonderful piece of equipment! Any new item takes a little learning like how much to tighten the knob and lever! It sure beats having to adjust two 9? long awkward handles plus a third little lever to pan.

The only problem with the Manfrotto Midi Ball Head is (was) the quick release 3049-camera plate extended just enough over the battery compartment door of my Canon Rebel XTi that the door could not be opened to change the battery with out removal/reinstallation of the quick release plate. I simply used a file on that side of the hexagon release plate and removed about 3/32 of an inch of material to provide clearance for the door.
