I took a chance on this Australian product. It is strong, tight, and tight and very well made. It was a bargain for $50 or, even, much more. It also comes with 2 Arca Swiss QD plates and a storage bag.

The Explorer EX-M Epic Explorer Medium Ball Head is the perfect lightweight ball head comprising of a hollowed-out body and ball socket designed to minimize size and weight at just a total of 276g (9.7oz) while maximizing strength, durability, and load capacity at 15kg (33lbs).
This makes the EX-M Epic Explorer suitable for supporting larger telephoto lenses while being compact enough to carry and use with camera bodies and lens combinations of all sizes. Ball heads increase stability compared to other head types and provide faster, more accurate camera rotation for the photographers.
The large main adjustment knob with friction control and separate 360 Degree panning clamp assist with fast, precision adjustments, so you never miss the action. The ARCA / RRS compatible quick release clamp makes it compatible with a large range of quick release plates and L-brackets and includes an Explorer EX-50 QR plate in the box. A 3/8" thread socket and included 1/4"-3/8" brushing suits tripods from many manufacturers.
