Tripod Ball Head, B36N Camera Tirpod Ball Head Mount, All Metal CNC Panorama Ballhead, 36MM Diameter Ball, 1/4" Screw 3/8" Hole for DSLR Camera Camcorder Tripod Monopod Slider Max Load 33lbs

This ball head was exactly what I was after....a lightweight yet sturdy replacement for my Manfrotto ball head on my carbon fibre Manfrotto tripod.It is very sturdy (the only reason is has 4 stars is that I haven't owned it very long) and the controls are very smooth which means that, with the 3 levels on the head, it is perfect for levelling in any situation.The Arca Swiss mount works very nicely and the fact that you get two plates is great.

Well made ball head locks solidly on the ball and nice fluid motion when turning.Comes with two plates which fit nicely, both have a slot for fixing to camera/lens which allows for better fitting to some camera body's. Very good product for decent price

Nicely made, quality feel to this ball head. The spirit levels could be larger (it's not easy to see the bubbles in anything but bright lighting conditions - see photos). The unit operates very smoothly and overall I'm happy with it. HOWEVER - I also bought a Pig-Iron L-Bracket (photo) so that I could mount my camera to this in either landscape or portrait mode, without losing my levelling settings on the ball mount, but as delivered, the clamp on the ball head wouldn't grip the Pig-Iron bracket, because the clamp has recessed springs on either side of the clamping thread and these springs, even when fully compressed, prevented the clamp from fully closing onto the L-Bracket. The solution was to tug out the springs (I used a sharp hook to pull the spring sideways then gripped and tugged the pring using pliers. Now it closes firmly onto the L-bracket, as shown in the photo. Only time will tell how durable and reliable this ball mount is. So far, I'm liking it, but I think with a bit more thought the design could have been made more usable, without affecting the price. I'm taking off a star for having to butcher the springs and another star for the hard-to-see spirit levels.

I bought this to replace my original ball head which had lost a turn screw. It has turned out to be an excellent product. In use there is no slippage/ creep even when used with the Nikon D7200 and Sigma 150-600mm C lens. The unit came quickly and was as advertised. Two plates were supplied with the unit and my existing plates fit perfectly. The action is smooth and fluid whether mounted on the tripod or monopod. I have no hesitation in recommending this ball head. Very good value for money.

I bought this to use with my solar telescope, plus camera, and other heads just couldn't take the weight and slipped. This is ideal, as it takes up to 33kg (which is more than my kit weighs) and so is solid and unmoving when I am adjusting parts on the scope or adding in my camera. It can be a tiny bit fiddly getting it pointing in the right direction, but once in place it doesn't move. Perfect for the job!

bought this for my Gorrila Pod, fraction of the price of the JOBY branded product. Well built with smooth movement. Buying another to replace the munt on my travel tripod.

Very pleased with this quick release tripod head. Sturdy, well made and functions well and as advertised. No complaints. Good value for money

This is a solid piece of kit. I use it on an astro imaging tracker so most of the time it's not sitting upright. It holds the camera rock steady in all positions. The lock screw for the ball head has a double action grip so if the screw is inadvertently unlocked half a turn the ball stays locked. There is also a rotation lock with a 180 degree scale and three spirit levels. All in all a very good buy.

When I lost my adapters for my pro tripod this was a perfect solution. The ball is big enough and the water level aids are perfectly easy to read and set up.... A really good price and quality, maybe a leaflet with specs would be helpful ....

La testa a sfera è costruita bene, robusta, è un ottimo prodotto con un prezzo molto competitivorispetto ad altri brand.

Recomiendo esta rotula, es de buenísima calidad y muy cómoda de utilizar. El servicio de atención al cliente es estupendo, me tuve que poner en contacto con el vendedor para resolver un pequeño problema y lo hizo rapidísimo y muy bien resuelto, una maravilla. Un 10 al producto y al vendedor.

Rapport qualité prix: excellent, produit bien usiné et bien fini. Fait correctement son travail, à voir à l'usage pour la pérennité du produit inspirant confiance.

Super zufrieden, gute Klemmung, der Kugelkopf läuft super weich.Insgesamt eine wertige Verarbeitung.Habe mir den Kopf wegen des grossen Kugeldurchmessers gekauft, immerhin muss da eine DSLR mit Sigma 150-600 drauf werkeln.
