This product works well with the Novoflex Panorama Head (item NVPP) mounted between the camera and the ball head. Just level camera on head using bubble on novoflex and lock ball head in position. Now unlock the novaflex, HELLO panoramas.
Great but didn't meet my needs

This an excellent ballhead in terms of finish and overall quality. The dual balls allow you to rotate the camera to 90 degrees in any direction. The downside is that even though there are markings along the base to help with panning, this head is NOT setup for independent panning. The large knob releases tension on both the upper and lower balls, and in order to pan, you release tension on both. It can be a bit difficult to manage. But if you don't intend to do panoramics, then this head is nice.
