Giottos MH1004 Reviews
Great little ball head
By Zay
Rated 5 out of 5

As the title indicates, this is a very small ball head. I plan to use it on a PlatyPod ultra or a small tripod for shots low to the ground. It is well made and should be great for phone shots.

It will be useful for my smallest cameras. I like the control knob.

question
On a monopod, would this ball head allow me to shoot vertical as well as horizontal (w/ a Canon 3Ti)?
Yes, this ball head will allow you to shoot vertical as well as horizontal, so long as your camera and lens combination is five pounds or less.

question
What thread or connection does the bottom on this device have?
The MH 1004 will feature a 3/8 -16 female connection, with an included 1/4 -20 reducer bushing for smaller threads. These two size choices will accommodate pretty much any standard tripod.

question
What is the diameter of the base?
Hi there. The diameter of the black collar is 22 mm. However, there is a 15 mm diameter barrel inside this which sits slightly (about 1 mm) proud of the base of the collar. This barrel has the female attachment screw. So the actual contact diameter of the unit to a rigid surface would be 15 mm. If your tripod plate (or other attachment surface) is rubberised this would probably squash enough to accommodate the 1 mm protrusion so that the full 22 mm will be in contact and give more stability.

question
Can it hold a SB600 or similar flash?
It should hold your flash with a cold-shoe adaptor without any problems. I use mine for my M43 camera which is a much heavier device.
