K&F CONCEPT Professional 28mm Metal Tripod Ball Head 360 Degree Rotating Panoramic with 1/4 inch Quick Release Plate Bubble Level for Tripod Monopod Slider Camera Camcorder up to 22 pounds

It gets the job done. Feel really high-end compared to the other gear I have had in the past. Not a 100% critical piece for my setup, but it ABSOLUTELY elevates it!

Great ballhead for the money. Holds camera, Canon R7, in place with no issues. Fits great on my ifootage monopod

I bought 2 of these for use on my bigger tripods but wanted to test this on a cheap little desktop style tripod. It immediately upped the quality of this small tripod and I spend the day shooting outdoor video on my camera using this set up. It is built strong, it is heavyweight which in this case makes a difference and adds to the quality while still making it easy to get into the various positions. I put a quick release on it to switch easily between iPhone and camera.

As a general rule I don't really like ball heads and rarely use them if there is any other option. It's usually too hard to accurately aim the camera and lock it in place without having it sag when you let go of it, losing your aim point. For most purposes I prefer a standard three way head like the very sturdy Manfrotto #3047, or for when I want to be able to follow moving subjects, a gimbal head like the moderately priced Movo GH700 MK II. (You can pay a lot more, and probably get some advantages, but this one works for me and my budget.) The exception is for mounting the camera on a start tracker which is in turn mounted on a geared head. In that case the ball head can stay locked in place because you're making the adjustments with the geared head. I'm using this one with a K&F Concept three way geared head and an iOptron Skytracker Pro. and the main problem I'm having is not enough clear nights!

Bought this to replace a broken tripod head. It works as it should. My only complaint is the turning knob for moving the ball. I need to be aware of how my spotting scope sits or the knob gets in the way of the scope.

I use this mount to support my camera, heavy lens, microphone, and a prompter—all mounted together—and the setup gets quite heavy. I needed a joint that could hold everything securely in place without slipping, and this product fits the bill perfectly! I’ve tried cheaper alternatives, and while they worked for the first 10 minutes, they gradually started giving in to the weight, which is a huge problem if you’re in the middle of recording. With this mount, that’s no longer an issue. Once you set it up, it stays in place virtually forever. Never needed to readjust. The build quality, durability, and precision are outstanding! Every turn of the knobs is smooth, and you can tell it’s been crafted with care and attention to detail. The quick-release mechanism is also incredibly easy to use, making adjustments a breeze, and it does look good with my camera :) Don’t waste your money on cheap options that will fail when you need them most. Invest in this one from the start—you won’t regret it!

I attach this to a large tripod and mount my StarLink on it. It allows me to get the perfect angle and direction so my StarLink is at the absolute perfect angle and direction. It has no problem with the weight of the full-size StarLink. Highly recommend

If you need a ball head that locks the vertical, and horizontal movements separately, this is the answer. Once set, the camera is rock solid, not the slightest movement. Very easy to make slight adjustments to maximize your composition. Unlike other ball heads I have tried, this adds no noticeable weight to the tripod. Have tried other ball heads, tilt & pan heads, l brackets, none hve provided the stability, and flexibility that this does. Highly rcommend

I bought this head to replace a worn out Joby with the larger cups. I use it for action cameras and small micro 4/3 camera with wide angle lens. usually as a B camera on a wild life shoot either on land or in a river. It fitted perfectly on the tripod and functions very well to aim the camera, focus and let it record without sagging due to the weight. In fact it gives me more options that the original ball head that came with the Joby tripod AND I keep the versatility of the cups of the tripod that allows easy adaption and mounting on all kind of surfaces. Keep in mind that you can use this with smaller camera setups only as it is not designed for large camera systems

It's a good, solid tripod head! It replaced the head of my Opus OT-1018BH tripod! The extra screw adapter allowed it to fit the tripod perfectly!

Holds up my Canon EOS M50 just fine. I also like that it came with an adapter. When I tried to screw the ball head on my tripod, it was too big. I was frustrated as I really needed to use the ball head and I was thinking I had to return it. But then I found the adapter in the package, screwed it into the ball head, then attached to my tripod. Easy peasy.

It is now just for a backup tripod and the previous head broke quickly.

Works very well. I like the quick release top which grabs the camera just a hair more before the camera could be safely removed.
