Review Summary

Solid ball mount. I am in love with this product. It allows me to have some much more flexibility than I have ever had before when using a tripod. It was slightly larger than I expected, but I am super impressed with the construction quality, and look forward to using it for many years to come.

I'm using it to support Nikon D7500 and Tamron 150 - 600, combined weight I estimate 10 lbs. This ball head may be overkill for that setup, but I am confident it won't fail. I like it. So far it is smooth with a little tension and solid tightened up.

Great ballhead. I have used it on several tripod stands, as well as, on a platypod. Easy to configure and supports my Canon 5D Mark IV along with 70-200mm lens

Excellent ballhead for a very fair price. It works great with my sigma 150-500mm on my D7200. Glad I purchased it instead of a more expensive head.

I really like this ball mount. I've purchased two, one for my monopod and one for my tripod. They beefy and very well constructed, I would highly recommend it.

I bought this to use with my PlatyPod and am so impressed with it that I'll probably buy another to use on my tripod. This head is rock solid, smooth to operate, is just impressive overall. Holds my D600 and Sigma 150-500 no problem.
