The issues I have are 1. The mounting plate on the camera doesn't stay tight. 2. It doesn't allow you to tip the camera all the way down unless you use it backwards which is uncomfortable. Other than these 2 things, it works well, holds its position well & is easy to put camera on & off.

This ball head is easy to use and allows the user to release and lock with one hand on the pistol grip. It will hold a full size SLR camera and lens in position without drift. With a little practice you can squeeze the lever to release the ball head and not have a sudden movement of the camera. The slot on the side allows the ball head to rotate 90 degrees for vertical orientation of the camera (portrait orientation). The quick release plate attaches to the camera with a screw connector, and it has a fold over 'wing' that is used to tighten or loosen the screw. It can be difficult to get the 'wing' piece to unfold to the tighten/loosen position because the space under the plate is tight. Fairly minor issue, but could be better. The grip I received did not have all of the levels shown in the photograph, just the round bubble level on the top of the pistol grip. This is not a major issue for my use, but the product should match the image shown. Overall, I recommend this pistol grip head as a good value.

Does the job - light and sturdy. Holds a Nikon D750 and a large zoom lens easily.

The Sunpak Compact Pistol Grip Ball Head with Quick Release Plate facilitates smooth, single-action camera positioning in any direction by simply pulling and releasing the trigger. One-handed operation of the head means your remaining hand is free to press the other trigger - the one on your DSLR camera.
The head's pistol grip facilitates an extremely quick and easy way to set your shooting angle-just squeeze the trigger, position with the rubberized handgrip and release and the camera's position is locked. This single-handed operation enables you to set forward/backward and side-to-side tilt as well as panning around a full 360deg. The included quick-release plate enables fast camera mounting (via a standard 1/4"-20 camera screw) and allows you to switch to handheld shooting in seconds.
Featuring both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounts, the Compact Pistol Grip head mounts to virtually all tripods. With four built-in bubble levels around the head, you'll always have instantaneous feedback as to whether your shot hews to the horizon. With a heavy load capacity and an integrated spring-loaded video pin on its quick-release plate, the Compact Pistol Grip head also supports compact camcorders. An ideal application might be a rapid-fire video production that involves a series of static shots.
