Comments about Giottos Giottos MH-1301 Pro Series II Medium Socket & Ball Head with MH-656 Quick Release System - Max Load: 26.5 lbs.:

Great all around ball head. Easily holds most of my heavy cameras solidly. Smooth action and doesn't kink or catch. Love the adjustable tension - a must have. My only problem is the thumbscrew that goes into the bottom of your camera. It won't go in all the way in two of the cameras I use regularly. It will go into the camera bases itself, but one camera (Olympus OM-2) has a winder that it is just too long for. My main shooter, Pentax K20D, has a battery grip that also won't accommodate it. We also tried it on my friends Nikon D60 with battery grip and it also wouldn't work. It's about 1/2 turn too long which results in a loose fit and camera droop if you're not careful. I've tried putting washers in, but that fouls it up. It also won't work on my Yashica-12 TLR.

I am very happy with this product. I shopped around for a long time before making my final decesion. The ball head is strong and very stabile. It is also easy to use and pleasing to the eye. I am a photo enthusiast, but I also do forensic photography in my profession. This product works well either way. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
