As advertised

Tolerances are a little tight, but it works fine with my Dolica ball head mount.

Just like the original.

Works perfectly. Just like the original. I love my Dolica tripod and will be glad to use it again. I may buy another just to have a back up.

Perfect fit

Perfect replacement for my quick release plate since my rubber grip fell off and there seems to not have been any rubber replacements from the manufacturer.

Great ball head at a great price

Use this ball head with my 6dii and 100-400 lens, holds up like a champ. No wiggle or drop once you get your camera set where you want it. Holds tight easy to use. I’ve seen ball heads similar to this go for much more grab this you wont be sorry

Quick, and smooth attachment for camera to tripod mount

Quick, and smooth attachment for camera to tripod mount. Have attached to Sigma 150-500 telephoto lens arm. The plate has a sliding adjustment for mounting and securing the tightening screw. I had trouble keeping the screw tight while carrying the camera on the tripod. Possibly I need a heavier duty plate.

Great But...

Head is good for the price, but doesn't fit a normal plate, so couldn't use this with other L plates I have. The included one is slightly wider.

It works great with the camera and tripod

It works great with the camera and tripod. But, it will not stay aligned with my 500mm Sigma Lens. It does not fit the Pistol Grip Head that came with the tripod. It's great for the three cameras it works with.

Exactly what I wanted.

I wanted a new ball head that would pan in all 3 directions and the Colica B103 Ball Head enables me to do exactly what I wanted.

Just what I was looking for

Needed extra plates to accommodate multiple cameras. Adorama had the answer

Just Like the Original

Bought this second quick release plate so that I can use two cameras on my Dolica tripod without having to remove the plate from the cameras.

Yep, It's a quick release plate

As plates go it's modest. Not one of those fancy billet machined pieces of action you see out on the racetracks, but instead a nicely cast chunk with a thumbscrew that works, and at a good price. The thumbscrew is great when you don't have tools but if you're mounting something close to the 11 lb. max weight of the Dolica ZX600B103 ballhead then you should give it a snug with a pair of pliers before being done. That's knocked a star off my rating. Otherwise I like. It's even small enough to stay out of the way of the battery hatch of my little m4/3 cameras!

Great Tripod head

This is a great tripod head. It supports my Canon T3i with a battery grip and a Heavy Tamron 17-50mm lens. The panning feature is also very nice to have on a locking ball head

The panning feature is really easy to use. I would recommend this product to anyone beginner to pro.

The Dolica B103 Ball Head features fluid pan movement base. This traditional design ball head offers classic design with pan and tilt knobs. The quick release plate has convenient flip locking screw. This removable Ball Head has 360 degree marking for panoramic shots.
