The Slik SBH-100 DQ Compact Ballhead 100 with Quick Release is a compact and lightweight ballhead that is ideal for any point-and-shoot digital or film camera, a bridge camera, or a lightweight SLR system. The head features an easy to use single-lever release that locks the camera into place with one single action. In addition, it also features a handy quick release system which makes the connection and removal of the camera a "snap."

Differing itself from many inexpensive ball heads on the market, the base of this head can rotate (pan) in addition to the ball movement. This makes horizontal movement of the camera much faster and easier.

      Comments about Slik SBH-100 DQ Compact Ballhead 100 with Quick Release:

      This product is mounted on a rifle monopod. It so easy to use, and detach the camera. It definitely steadies my shots, and allows me to do portrait shots with out lifting the monopod sideways....definitely the best item I have purchased this year.

        I need a quick release system for tripod and monopod. This item works great for me. I use it alot

        Comments about Slik SBH-100 DQ Compact Ballhead 100 with Quick Release:

        This little ballhead works well for my P&S and micro four thirds cameras. It's small, light, and appears quite strong for its size. It works nicely on my small travel tripod. A couple of downsides though; although it does have a panning base, there is only one knob, so you're actually loosening the ballhead to pan. Also, the panning action is not smooth; there is a rough feel to it, almost like a bad bearing, but for the price, it works for me.

          Comments about Slik SBH-100 DQ Compact Ballhead 100 with Quick Release:

          I put these ball heads on my table-top tripod and my monopod. It holds my Kx (with a variety of lenses) securely. This ball head uses the same quick release as the SBH-120, which I use on my full-size tripod. As I result, I can leave the quick release plate on my camera all the time.

          Comments about Slik SBH-100 DQ Compact Ballhead 100 with Quick Release:

          ...for your older model Slik Sprint Mini tripod....or any small tripod lacking a quick disconnect. This is an easy way to upgrade your "Mini" with a quick release ballhead. I have one of these tripods and it's great; it's only drawback is that it did not have a quick disconnect ...with the SBH-100 the problem is solved. I use this with my Nikon D40 and stock lens (and matching 55-200mm tele) with no problems. It works well and the quick disconnect is a great. The retaining shoe is low profile and light and leaving it on the bottom of the camera is no problem. Are there "better" mini ballheads out there? Sure, if you feel the need to drop heavy coinage for something else more esoteric go for it. But in the "bang-for-your-buck" rating, this Slik is hard to beat.

              The surface area is too small to support anything other than a small/lightweight camera.
              I should have bought a larger product with more surface area.

                  Bought this head for my Bogen monopod for light travel with a medium digital camera. This was the smallest and lightest one I could find with a quick disconect plate. Nicely made with a nice release and hold feature for the plate I have not seen on other heads. Also, adjustment screws are held in place so they cannot be lost.
