Rated 5 out of 5

Just what I was looking for.

It was just the size I needed for an application. Very well made, of course. And excellent delivery from Adorama.

Functional flexibility in a small, lightweight package.

These little ball heads are perfect at giving me shot flexibility in a small, lightweight package. I use them in some compact time lapse setups, and they've changed the game for me, making my setup more functional and compact while giving it a much more professional appearance. This rating is for the third batch of them I've purchased because the rigs I put together with the first set worked so well that I keep deploying more of them.

Works good.

It works great for holding a speed light, a point and shoot, and a small DSLR.

Smooth ball head locks up tight.

I first starting using Manfrotto tripods and accessories 30 years ago and they continue to be my go-to source for camera mounting both professionally and for my personal photos. Parts continue to be well designed, well made, good looking, good feeling, and reasonably priced. This little ball head is no exception.
