Good Quality, Excellent Value
I've tried lots of ball heads, both expensive and cheap. This is the best inexpensive one I've found so far, and capable of handling a big camera rig easily. Many of the cheap heads work ok, but are clearly designed for smaller cameras. This one has a double locking mech that holds steadily even with a big camera and long lens on it. You can use one knob to adjust friction and the other to lock. Or, tighten both down to hold things firmly. Very nice. Movement is pretty smooth - not buttery like a $150 Manfrotto of course, but you can't expect that. Still, better than most. There's a separate knob to lock the panning, which I like. YMMV. The Arca mount is also solid and moves smoothly. (Bonus: comes with a nice 60mm mounting plate. More versatile than the usual 50mm ones.) This ball head is the best you can get for less than $50 and the equal of many at $100 or more. Highly recommended.

Reliable and Versatile Tripod Ball Head for Family Photography
As a parent who loves capturing family moments, the Neewer 36MM Tripod Ball Head has been a game-changer for us. Its 360-degree rotation allows me to quickly adjust my camera to catch candid shots of the kids, whether they're playing in the yard or blowing out birthday candles. The sturdy metal build gives me confidence that my camera is secure, even when I'm multitasking during family gatherings. One weekend, we set up a DIY family photo shoot in our living room. With this ball head's smooth movement, I easily switched between landscape and portrait orientations, capturing both group photos and individual portraits without missing a beat. The quick-release plate made it simple to detach the camera for spontaneous handheld shots when the kids started getting playful. This tripod ball head has truly enhanced our family photography sessions, making it easier to preserve those precious memories.

GREAT for the price; has some flaws I can overlook
First, the great: * it has separate friction and lock knobs for the ball * The ball head has a panning feature which allows the ball to remain locked * It holds the camera in position easily and securely - even my DSLR with long lenses and a second battery, filters, and flash installed * It uses arca-swiss plates * The included plate has screws installed to prevent the plate from sliding out if the plate retaining screw isn't tightened enough Now, the flaws: * The panning feature works poorly in freezing weather (heavy grease used during assembly?) * The instructions mis-identify some of the adjustment knobs, which will cause newbies to think it's defective and return it * The instructions do not explain how to properly preset the friction level of the ballhead, which will cause newbies to think it's defective and return it (if you're a n00b, there are great youtube howtos and reddit threads explaining how to dial ballhead friction levels in) * The tripod does not come with adapters for the bottom screw hole Because these flaws come more down to nitpicking and included instructions rather than the product itself, I'm not deducting any stars in this case; most ballheads include equally crappy instructions. Apart from the heavy grease which makes panning require more effort out in the cold, I'm extremely happy with this ball head The application I'm using this for is for a gopro mount for youtube videos, but I'm considering ordering a new carbon-fiber tripod from this brand for use with my DSLR as I've long wanted an upgrade, and this product is overall pretty good and solid. I'm also considering ordering another ballhead from this brand to upgrade the ballhead on my current aluminum tripod.

Super sturdy!
Got this to attach my camera to C-stands for overhead shots. It screws into the end of the boom arm very securely. Being able to adjust it between the ball head and 360 panorama makes it perfect for this use. Adjusting the ball head is super simple and it holds a 3lb camera/lens combo in place extremely well in any position. The buble level is a nice addition. That being said, it loses 1 star for the rubber on the knobs slipping and coming off after the first use (plan to get some rubber cement to see if that helps). It makes it tough to adjust when you can't grip the knobs right. Also, when it tilts fully up (into that groove), the knob that screws the camera onto the plate presses against the tripod head, making it so the you have to adjust the head to get the camera off and it doesn't sit entirely level at that angle. For the price it still works well for my use and I would recommend it. Just with the knob grips would stay in place.

Sturdy
This thing is chonky, I've got a couple of ballheads already but this one is physically larger. It works for what I need but keep in mind that this may be larger than your current ballhead. Use wise this thing works great, love that it came with an adapter for other sized mounts too. Using this with a full frame camera and it feels sturdy and when locked in doesn't move or shift. All around a great product.

Well constructed
This is a well made ball head for my mirrorless camera. Very nicely constructed in all metal, with a very nice weight to it. It fits the quarter inch screw to my tripod and camera securely and you can use the pins to adjust the ball and lock it in to your desired position. I am a newbie videographer so this has been really useful and recommend it for other newbies who might not be ready to spend more $$ on a ball head mount. This a great tool to learn with.

Ottima testa a sfera e ottimo il rapporto qualità prezzo. 31,44 euro in offerta per un prodotto solido interamente in metallo, a parte naturalmente gli inserti di gomma morbida sulle quattro manopole di regolazione/bloccaggio e i gommini che assicurano un’aderenza stabile tra la piastra e la fotocamera. Il corpo principale Le regolazioni della testa sono comandate da quattro manopole molto fluide: - la manopola dotata di bolla per il serraggio della piastra; - le due manopole identiche e contrapposte che permettono di bloccare i movimenti della sfera; - la manopola posta alla base per la rotazione panoramica della testa. Per regolare i movimenti della sfera in realtà è sufficiente serrare una sola delle due manopole contrapposte, la seconda però rappresenta una comodità in più, può essere utile per scegliere se utilizzare la mano sinistra o la destra, oppure per impiegare una delle due come frizione (per rendere i movimenti più o meno fluidi) e l’altra come bloccaggio. Il movimento panoramico con scala graduata a 360 gradi è comandato dalla specifica manopola di blocco ed è dotato di una frizione con durezza costante non modificabile. La piastra a sgancio rapido La testa ha un attacco Arca Swiss che la rende compatibile con molti accessori che adottano questo standard. Personalmente ho montato sulla fotocamera una staffa a L (in alternativa alla piastra in dotazione) che avendo lo stesso attacco si adatta perfettamente alla testa e mi permette di usare indifferentemente la fotocamera sia in orizzontale che in verticale; in questo modo nelle panoramiche realizzate con più scatti verticali la fotocamera mantiene lo stesso asse di rotazione, riducendo le aberrazioni in fase di montaggio e mantenedo una maggiore stabilità anche con obiettivi pesanti. La piastra in dotazione è sufficientemente ampia per offrire un buon supporto e aderisce bene alla fotocamera sia per la qualità dei 6 supporti di gomma, sia per la buona presa offerta dalla piccola impugnatura pieghevole montata sulla vite da 1/4 che va a inserirsi nella filettatura della macchina. Il serraggio può essere quindi eseguito agevolmente a mano o se si preferisce con una moneta inserita nel taglio della vite. Il funzionamento La testa è ben dimensionata nel rapporto tra stabilità, dimensioni e peso. La utilizzo principalmente all’aperto ma torna utile anche nello still life. Supporta bene una Nikon D780 con Nikkor 16-35 mm (peso corpo macchina più obiettivo 1600 gr). Utili le due bolle. Le manopole sono tutte ben dimensionate, il loro funzionamento è fluido e graduale, buona la presa grazie agli inserti di gomma morbida. Il bloccaggio a vite della piastra è solido e personalmente lo preferisco a quello a leva perché più sicuro anche se un po’ meno rapido. La base ha una filettatura per l’attacco da 3/8, la testa arriva con un adattatore che la rende compatibile anche con l’attacco più piccolo da 1/4. l’adattatore può essere avvitato o rimosso facilmente con una moneta. La testa può quindi essere montata indifferentemente sui treppiedi che hanno l’attacco maschio con filetto da 3/8 o da 1/4. Misure (misure e pesi riportati nelle “specifiche prodotto” del venditore non sono reali) Misure corrette rilevate sulla testa: Altezza cm 10 Peso totale gr 380 Piastra cm 6 x 3,8 Da consigliare senza riserve.

Estoy muy contento con mi compra, me compre la versión azul, por alguna razón estaba más barata que la roja. La calidad de construcción es muy buena, las perillas aprietan muy bien a la bola, no tendrás ningún problema (soporta hasta 8kgs). NOTA IMPORTANTE: Ya viene con su rosca adaptador reductor de 3/8" a 1/4" para montarla en cualquier tripie. Yo no sabía esto y termine comprando 5 roscas por $70 al mismo tiempo que este adaptador, así que espero ahorrarte ese gasto si lees mi comentario :)

Primero, por lo que cuesta, esta es una gran rótula. Es suave. Se bloquea de forma segura y aguanta mi equipo fotográfico que pesará unos 4kg. Esta es una rótula de bola de trípode de alta calidad con una placa de liberación rápida que se adapta a las placas Arca Swiss. Eso significa que puede usar soportes en L de cámara compatibles para tener una configuración realmente elegante para cambios rápidos y fáciles en disparos verticales a horizontales. Esto también se puede utilizar como cabezal de arrastre para video, ya que hay un tornillo de ajuste para determinar cuánta resistencia al movimiento hay en la rótula izquierda-derecha. En general, esta es una ganga fantástica para una bonita rótula de aluminio y metal. La unidad es genial aunque un poco pesada. Pros: - Sólida - Suave, fácilmente ajustable. Contras: - Un poco pesada - Para apretar la bola hay que ajustar 2 tornillos - El nivel de burbuja es difícil de ver con la cámara montada Conclusión: Calidad precio insuperable, otro producto mas de neewer para hacer mis videos aún mas profesionales.
