Manfrotto 490 Ball Head used on a monopod. Fits fine and works with my other Manfrotto attachemnt mounts.

Works smoothly and as expected.

Good for the Price

The tightening mechanism is difficult to use. Other than that it is pretty solid and does the job. Good for the price but again the controls are a little cumbersome.

Good small tripod head

I'm using this head on top of a JOBY Gorilla Pod tripod K5 size. The base size of the head is a little on the small size for this tripod. But the base of the head fits fine but the locking knob rubs up against the tripod head platform. The knob does extend out easily enough when you have to turn it. Would be nice for the specs of a tripod head when buying one to mention what the ideal base size would be for it. But locks very well with gear on it.
