    Is it as smooth as the Kirk? No. Is it smooth enough to work properly? Yes. For the price, this is an excellent ball head. The controls are truly impressive as they are smooth and lock up tightly with minimal turning. CAUTION: the control knobs were all locked in the fully open position and I was unable to turn them by hand when I first opened the box. I used a pair of channel locks (with padding) to turn them with gentle pressure and they all unlocked. Everything worked properly after that.

    First off the product feels quality. It’s sturdy as can be and everything has a nice finish on it so it feels tactile. Installation is kind of goofy since you have to screw it on but with the turning base it makes it awkward, you have to fully tighten the rotation lock so it can’t move and use the knobs to tight the unit down, but I’ll chalk that up industry standard.
    All the rotational actions are smooth and precise which makes it feel well built. I would say it’s on the heavier side but it’s not obnoxiously heavy.

    I liked this so much for my monopod that I bought another one for my travel tripod! Well built and solid. I carry some really heavy gear and noticed that unless the large knob is not very tight, my 5D MKIII and 100-400 MKII has a tendency to move when the tripod/monopod is carried over my shoulder but that is a LOT of weight and other ballheads would probably do the same. Tightening the knob very tight fixes the problem. Other than that, it is very smooth and it even comes with an Arca-Swiss plate which is also very well made. It is only $20 more than the lighter model (IB1) and I bought that one first but returned it because for $20 more, this one is much more heavy duty than the IB1 and worth the extra bucks.

    I purchased this to use on a new Benro Tripod, which is fantastic. My normal setup weighs around 5 lbs, but my telephoto camera/lens combo comes in just under 11 lbs. This head is rated for 17 and it works great on my standard lenses but I see a little creep on my telephoto, no matter how much I tightened it. I borrowed a B2 rated at 40 lbs and it was perfect. So lesson learned is if going telephoto where movement is amplified, go with a much higher load rated head, you may not need the load, but with the weight increase comes an increase in steadiness. This is a great ball head, excellent design and quality but keep well under the load limit if using large telephoto lenses.

    Generally feels well made and locks down tight. It supports my D800 very well. However the bubble level on the clamping head is not flush to the base and is unreliable in leveling the camera platform and I am considering a return.

    I bought this for the Swiss Arca compatability, but I was very pleased to discover how light weight it is. This Benro will now be my travel ball head on both a monopod and a tripod. It holds a big Nikon with various f/2.8 long lenses surprisingly well, and the movement is smooth. I'm impressed with the build quality and how well the quick release works with various Arca plates I already own. Good value, I think.

    Normalement, ce type de tête coûte entre 300 et 500 €. Top qualité! Un reflex full frame + objectif de 1,5 kg est un jeu d'enfant pour cette tête. La rotation pano est séparée, on peut ajuster la résistance de la tête séparément aussi et quand c'est fixé, c'est fixé... ça ne bouge pas d'un millimètre. Le mécanisme de "release" de la plaque arca-swiss est rapide et facile. J'ai une plaque arca-swiss en forme L montée sur mon boîtier, cela permet de passer du format horizontal au vertical (et vice versa) en 5 secondes sans ajuster à nouveau le niveau etc.
    J'ai monté le plateau arca swiss fourni sur mon objo 70-200, ce qui me permet de le monter/démonter également en 5 secondes. Tout est simple, nickel, rapide et super solide. Pour ce prix, c'est incroyable!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Solid and refined ball head for the sub-$200 range
    Reviewed in Canada on October 18, 2019
    Style: IB2Verified Purchase
    This product is as-advertised, for the most part, and is a MASSIVE upgrade from my Vanguard SBH-100 ball head.

    The knobs have good tactile feel and provide a decent grip, but I can see it being a bit hard to twist them if you have gloves on that don't have some form of silicon grip on them, as the knobs have no rubberized coating to them.

    The pan lock and fluidity of motion is smooth as silk.

    However I do agree that this ball head couldn't handle the rated 22lbs load capacity; even if I REALLY tighten both the friction lock and main head lock knobs, I can still get this head to move with less pressure than I thought.

    Bottom line, it is a great ball head for the money, and for the majority of uses and gear, should work fine!
