It was just the size I needed for an application. Very well made, of course. 
And excellent delivery from Adorama.

Just what I was looking for.

These little ball heads are perfect at giving me shot flexibility in a small, lightweight package. I use them in some compact time lapse setups, and they've changed the game for me, making my setup more functional and compact while giving it a much more professional appearance. This rating is for the third batch of them I've purchased because the rigs I put together with the first set worked so well that I keep deploying more of them.

Functional flexibility in a small, lightweight package.

It works great for holding a speed light, a point and shoot, and a small DSLR.

Works good.

WRONG SIZE

I use it with a car window mount for taking pictues while sitting in my truck.  I slao use it on my tripod.

"Rolls effortly"

I first starting using Manfrotto tripods and accessories 30 years ago and they continue to be my go-to source for camera mounting both professionally and for my personal photos.  Parts continue to be well designed, well made, good looking, good feeling, and reasonably priced.  This little ball head is no exception.
