Comments about Benro BH2 Ballhead with Quick Release:
Not that thrilled with this head, but it could be because I am so used to a professional ball head. I was hoping that I could use it for panoramas, but it just does not function well for this use. It was a disappointing purchase.

Comments about Benro BH2 Ballhead with Quick Release:
This ball head supports the 9 pounds of weight for my largest unit fine but I had to use a 3/8 to 1/4 inch bushing for my tripod and I find the unit is a bit wobbly for my liking. The quick release latches are not as smooth as I would like but the ball head adjustment and lock is good. The single bubble level is useful but not very accurate. I find myself using it in conjunction with the camera level for the best results. The panning would be good if I didn't have the wobbling issue already described. I would recommend this unit with tripods with 3/8" bolts only to avoid the wobble issue. Otherwise, this is a nice unit for the price.

Comments about Benro BH2 Ballhead with Quick Release:
I've been looking for a ball head with holding power and this one fits the bill. Previous models I've tried allowed my lenses to droop downward. Reasonably priced. It is a little bit on the heavy side but it is a small price to pay for security.

Comments about Benro BH2 Ballhead with Quick Release:
I've been looking for a ball head with strong holding power, and this one fits the bill. Its reasonably priced too. Its a bit heavier than most similar priced units but none I've found can hold the weight like this one, so it's a small trade off

Comments about Benro BH2 Ballhead with Quick Release:
Needed a new head after my manfrotto joystick became too soft to hold the camera. Chose this one for its simplicity and weight rating. Works great.
