Rated 4 out of 5

Small but sturdy ball head

I wanted a small ball head to pair with a Kirk table top tripod and this one fit the bill. I like the fact that the ball head can pan as well as tilt when the lock is loosened, and the rated capacity is very high for such a small and light ball head. It's well machined and finished.
