Benro B1 Reviews
Excellent product
Great design and implementation. I bought this ballhead to use with a Platypod Max, and they make a great pair. The B1 is light enough and the control buttons are easy to operate when mounted on the Platypod. It hold my Pentax K5 very well, and I like the safety feature that requires us to pull the release button in order to release the arca-type plate so it does not fall by accident. Very good idea. Definitely recommend it!
Exactly right
Bought to accomodate the weight of a D810 with an emphasis on light weight but overall strength & utility. I've used a B0 with a D300 & found a little slumping with telezooms (but hardly intolerable.) No issue with this head, the D810 & a 24-70 lens. I've not yet tried long primes or telezooms, and I wouldn't be surprised by some weakness at the extreme end of its weight range, but for overall flexibility/utility/value, I'm as pleased as possible.
