This ball head features three independent controls for managing sphere lock, adjusting ball tension for balanced equipment weight, and enabling horizontal camera movement for breathtaking landscape shots. The head mounts a unique plate that is fully compatible with the world's most widespread standard head attachments: Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-swiss style. This compatibility allows for rapid and effortless setup with all Manfrotto heads and almost all tripod heads on the market featuring Arca-swiss style attachments, without the need for disassembling components. The Befree Advanced Twist 4-Section Aluminum Travel Tripod with Ball Head is the ultimate travel companion for passionate photographers seeking maximum performance. This lightweight tripod combines portability, solidity, easy setup, and operation, empowering photographers to express their creativity with the support of a professional solution.

Purchased based on good reviews

I was looking for a good travel tripod that would integrate well with my other gear -- which is all arca-swiss compatible. Despite the listing stating that it was arca-swiss compatible, it wasn't really two-way.

Technically, yes, the plate that comes with this tripod head will fit on other arca swiss heads. But the reverse is not true. The head will not accept other arca swiss plates. It is pretty much a proprietary head/plate that doesn't play nicely with others.

The tripod itself seems decent, but the lack of compatibility was disappointing.

Not cross compatible with Arca-Swiss plates

So far so good.  Works as intended.  Smaller then I thought.
