Good bang for the buck.......2007-12-05

I got this ball head to go on my Feisol carbon fiber monopod. From the picture it looks small and light, but to my amazement was quite a decently sized, durable, metal head. That put my monopod weight over 2lbs as this head is about 1.5 lbs alone, but this head is pretty sturdy. I can easily put my Canon 30D with the heavy EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens with the tripod ring no problem on it. I use this setup for fashion shows as it's the most convenient.

Just a note, this thing only has one center column screw to screw the head into. It does not have the 3 base screws (to prevent rotation of the head). It's not really a big of a deal, especially on a monopod, but some might like to know that it doesn't have these screws, even though the manual has it illustrated (it doesn't even have the 3 holes to screw in)

The Quick release plate is very well designed, and even comes with a saftey (good for me with using a monopod as it can catch a sleeve, strap, etc. then pop off). The quick release also auto locks once you pop it back in.

Serves its purpose.......2007-11-16

Holds my N90s with MB-10 and 70-300mm lens when I'm carrying my tripod (190XPROB) by the legs. It doesn't tilt at all with the weight. The quick release works flawless and the tilt lock as stated first is effortless. I recommend it.

*Know how much you want to support before you buy something like this. I did my research and this head gives me about 1-2 pounds of leeway so its PERFECT!

Great Mini Ball Head for Bogen Manfrotto Tripod.......2007-11-05

this is a great addition to the bogen manfrotto tripod that i have.
you can manuever it to tilt, turn, etc, and the quick release is great when out in nature and a bird flies nearby, where you need to handhold. with the touch of a button, the quick releases lets you have your camera at hand.

just be careful when you are using the lever to move the camera or tilt it..make certain to hold your camera while making the adjustment.

great product!!

Great for a travel tripod.......2007-08-20

I've been using this on my Slik Sprint Pro (excellent tripod) and I love it. It's very sturdy for its size and weight. I also have the next model up, the 486rc2 which is much much bigger and heavier. I use it on a larger bogen tripod and keep the 484rc2 for my travel tripod.

There is a comment that it's not compatible with all tripods, it's not a problem, you just need a bogen adapter that is called a "bushing". Don't worry, it's cheap. With it, the head will fit any standard tripod.

Good lightweight ball head.......2007-01-13

This is a well made and well finished ball head. It is okay to use with a small dslr with upto medium telephoto lens attached. It wasn't strong enough for using with my Canon 70-200mm f4L lens attached to Canon 10D even thought maximum capacity rated is 5.5 lbs. Also it is a good ball head for your monopod.
