Benro B3 Ball Head

I am very happy with the Benro B3 ball head. It is very smooth and I am able to set the friction dial to precisely support even my 200-800 lens at around 4.5lbs while allowing even minute manipulation of my rig. When I need to ensure no movement, I lock the ball head down and it gives zero play or flex ensuring my images are as sharp as possible.

One on each tripod

This is a large, heavy-duty ball head. Perfect for long, heavy lenses. I have one on each of my main tripods.

Benro B3 Triple Action Quick Release Ballhead, 66lbs. Maximum Load

I can't think of anything else I'd need in a ballhead. Heavy-duty, stable, easy, smooth, solid adjustments for the ballhead, 360 degree panning & drag. Great product!

Very Solid

I bought this to replace a ballhead on my Benro tripod. I haven't had a chance to take it in the field yet, but it seems very solid. and more stable than the existing head, which is why I bought it. Very easy to install.

I really love it.

It's big and supports a lot of weight. It's light but very stable and moves very smooth. I cannot ask more for it.

One Great Ball Head

A well built head. Very strong. I was going to get the Induro 3 head but after I ran across this one I had a change of heart. The price is alot cheaper than the Induro. I use my 100-400L on this head and no problems with stability. If your looking for a good ball head get this one you want be disappointed.

Very nice ballhead

I use this product in combination with my Gitzo GT2541EX tripod. There is really nothing to dislike about it. It provides more than adequate stability for any camera/lens combination that I'll ever be able to throw at it. The good: - controls logically arranged - built in level - lock and drag adjustment - high weight capacity - price - 360 degree panning The bad: can't think of anything to complain about. So overall, I am satisfied with this ballhead in use, and think that it compares favorably with many other more expensive ballheads.
