Review Summary
2014-12-28T19:00:00
Decided on Sunwayfoto after looking a while and reading reviews on "travel" ballheads from Sunwayfoto, Markins and Photoclam. The contruction seems to be top notch for similar heads. I thought that I would like the all metal knobs but they were actually hell on my fingers. The 40lbs max load is a joke. I had my 5DIII on there with an 85 1.2 and the ball head moved around way too easily despite me tightening the knob to the max. It is very light at 10.7 ounces and a good fit for the Gitzo 1541 but the load capacity is a dealbreaker for me. I returned after a few days of use.
