*Low Profile Ball Head*I was looking for a suitable mount to attach my Fujifilm X-T2 camera to a monopod, and this ball head has proved ideal. It's simple, lightweight and locks solidly. Unusually, both the head rotation and ball angle are clamped with the same bolt, and that was a big attraction to me, in my quest for simplicity and lightness.Quality of construction is excellent, and the only plastic I can see is the ball socket liner, as I would expect. The friction can be finely adjusted from rock solid to smooth movement whilst retaining support, and this is important in avoiding equipment damage. Not all ball heads work this smoothly, and there's certainly a feeling of quality about this head.A large part of the attraction for me is the Arca Swiss compatible clamp, which will secure a standard 37mm wide plate. I use my camera with an additional hand grip attached, and the base of that is Arca Swiss compatible, so in my case I can mount my X-T2 directly to the ball head, which is very handy. For everyone else, the ball head comes supplied with a small plate that can be attached to your camera.Most importantly, I trust this ball head with my expensive equipment. For my ASPC Fuji camera it's perfect, and definitely solid enough for tele zooms up to 300mm. Whilst best suited for lighter cameras I'd also rate the ball head for full frame too, provided your lenses are light weight. For those really long pro or old school metal body lenses though - especially at full frame - I'd probably opt for a chunkier ball head than this one. But I shoot mainly with a mirrorless Fuji camera because I enjoy the compactness of the system, and the amazing image quality. So for me, this ball head is absolutely perfect, and - unusually for me - I really can't think of how it might be improved on.High praise then, and full five stars. Purchased at just under twenty pounds, and strongly recommended.

EXACTLY what I was looking for in a tripod head. I was in the market for a reliable replacement head after an old head failed me. I mainly use my tripod for aviation night shoots with long exposures, so a tight ball was a requirement.Fits the bill perfectly. Design is really thought out, with a spirit level allowing easy levelling. Arca Swiss plate being included is also very nice. Ball is tight and easily lockable. Definitely isn't going anywhere.Perfect for photographers looking for a heavy capable, reliable rig that can also guarantee no movement for long exposures.
