equipment of various sizes Basically, I wanted a ball head that is far more dependable and capable than light-weight ball heads. Ball heads with a small diameter (and low cost) that are heavy duty. I purchased two of these U-shaped U-shaped U-shaped U-shaped U-shaped U-shaped Ball heads with an 80L capacity that will be used on my small tabletop tripods- as well as for super clamp mounts to hold accessories. This ball head is on the low end of the medium-priced range. duty. It lacks the tenacity of a high-powered weapon. duty ball heads (for heavier objects). This item, on the other hand, is well-built for the task at hand. Take note of the following: 1) Although the plate is small, it is adequate for its smaller-scale application. the purpose of the item 2) The U80L's knobs are plastic, but they should work fine. 3) The Ulanzi U-100 is a bit more expensive. The 70 is entirely made of metal, but the ball size is only slightly larger than the U. 80L (I'd go with the U-shaped) 80 (small for a ball head, but medium duty in terms of weight capacity). The U- The U-70 has a small plate as well, though it is slightly larger than the U-70. 80L.

I've been using a slightly smaller product from a different manufacturer for years, and the weight of the iPad Pro would always wiggle it- I like everything about this product. It wouldn't be able to stay put indefinitely. The tightening key on this item is the perfect size. I can put it in any position, tighten it up, and it's solid as a rock. The coloration, finish, and overall quality are all excellent. br>br>Creative+ paraphrase: I've recently discovered a previously unknown-to-me source of information. This is an interesting feature. To reposition the ball lock lever, pull it out (much like adjusting an analog wristwatch with the little wheel). When the head is positioned in a way that the lock lever is obstructed, this is useful.

Backpacking is a dream. Now is the time to buy. I've never used a smaller tripod head like this one. br>br>I'm a photographer who specializes in nature and landscapes. I've been on a mission to build the lightest camera kit possible in order to reduce backpacking weight. br>br>This tripod head is literally the lightest ball head I've ever seen, and it also has a quick release plate. Mine is four kilograms in weight. On my scale, with the quick release plate, it was exactly 2 ounces. br>br>In addition, the side-mounted cold shoe is a brilliant design. One of the three wrenches that came with the tripod head can also be used to remove it. Advantages: br>br>
- The tiniest and lightest of the tiniest of the tin My other tiny tripod head is 2 ounces heavier and does not have a quick release!
- Once locked down, it's incredibly sturdy, and tightening the locking lever is a breeze. My Sony camera refuses to move.
- A Sony a6500's bottom side is perfectly suited for a mini quick release plate. When mounted to the tripod head, it does not obstruct the battery door.
- For what you get, which is a very well-designed and well-made product, it's incredibly affordable. The ultralight tripod head was designed and built by me. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product.
- The ball moves in a clumsy and jerky manner. For photos, it's not a big deal. Adding a proper friction layer to smooth it out would most likely increase weight and size.
- There isn't a panning lock that can be operated independently. The ball and panning are controlled by a single lever. The camera must be manually aligned from shot to shot when shooting a panorama.
- It's possible that a quick release plate won't work with an Arca-style camera. Swiss plates are a type of plate that is made of metal that is sourced from Switzerland. But, to be honest, who cares?.

Topping off my monopod was exactly what I needed. This Ball Head is incredibly secure and won't budge. br>To hold my handle knob when attaching the camera, I replaced the cold shoe with a small arca swiss clamp.

This tripod ball head is built to last and is ideal for light-duty applications. I use it as a webcam mount, but it can also be used as a point of sale display. shoot as well as mirrorless cameras (when using a lens with a reasonable focal length - I wouldn't use this on someone who has a 100-pound body. (300mm focal length). The ARCA plate is about half the size of standard plates, which I like, but it should fit if you want to use a larger one. br>br>An external mic or small light can be used thanks to the cold mount on the side.

1 on top of my MixPre 6 II, giving me a complete high-fidelity/high-resolution inline livestreaming setup for Zoom. Is it true that the narrow mount is causing people to complain? If you have a compact camera and a lot of interchangeable lenses, this is the way to go. For those, you'll need to upgrade to a more durable ballhead. This thing, on the other hand, is the schizzle when it comes to compacts.

I expected it to be of medium build quality, a step up from the $9 pair of ball-cap sneakers I had purchased previously. I bought these head mounts for light stands, but I expected them to be of lower quality than the ball head on my backpacking tripod. This ball head is MUCH NICER than the one that came with my tripod. It will take time to see how durable it is, but it appears to be very solid.
