Comments about Giottos Giottos MH-1000 Large Ball Head with Independent Panning Lock with Built-in MH652 Quick Release - Supports 22 lbs:
Surprisingly solid but I wouldn't advise putting the full advertised weight on it (22 or 24 pounds I think). It might hold but why risk your camera?

People should read and understand the product specs before buying and learn how to properly use the product before complaining.

Comments about Giottos Giottos MH-1000 Large Ball Head with Independent Panning Lock with Built-in MH652 Quick Release - Supports 22 lbs:
Great for long exposures and basic photography it is very stable and for a head this small and light I don't think you can beat it. There is nothing that I dislike about it.

The Giottos MH-1000 is functioning perfectly, for my purposes. Currently using it with 500mm long lens. So far, so good.

Comments about Giottos Giottos MH-1000 Large Ball Head with Independent Panning Lock with Built-in MH652 Quick Release - Supports 22 lbs:
This is a well made ballhead. It is my first, so I can't compare to models costing 2 or three times as much. It does everything I expected. For me, it is better than the panhead which came with my tripod and is more useful.

Comments about Giottos Giottos MH-1000 Large Ball Head with Independent Panning Lock with Built-in MH652 Quick Release - Supports 22 lbs:
despite being one of the cheaper ball heads i find this unit to be very solidly built with positive locking and smooth panning. i expect this to last indefinitely.
the quick release works well to lock down my D200.
my only complaint would be that the levels are not very high quality. but anyone who needs these would probably have a hot shoe mount level anyway.

Comments about Giottos Giottos MH-1000 Large Ball Head with Independent Panning Lock with Built-in MH652 Quick Release - Supports 22 lbs:
Coupled to a set of Manfrotto 3021 legs, this is a rock solid platform for a Canon 30D with a 70-200 zoom attached. Silky smooth operation but locks up tight when needed.
I was very concerned about the quality because it is so inexpensive when compared to other heads. My concerns drifted away after a few sessions in the field.
