Not Perfect

By Peter

Disappointed considering price paid. With my 150-600mm and D 850, the ball head allows some droop after locking down. Yes, I attach the mounting plate to the lens foot so all is fairly well balanced. 2) The mounting plate only fits in one way; quite annoying. Other than that, it is a stable platform and does what a ball head should.

Serious Design Flaw make this unusable

I B&H Customer support! Avoid buying this until Manfrotto fixes this design problem. The new lock mechanism which hold the release plate is made of cast iron and sticks out just enough that any bump or fall will break it, rendering the Ball head useless. See Photos! So, I'm back to using my 20 year old 498RC2 until then. As usual I can rely on B&H to take care of me.

Excellent replacement of the ball on my travel tripod. The original was ok until I had the camera in a vertical position. This handles the load perfectly. The quick detach works great, I often leave the camera attached and lug the tripod over my shoulder. It stays secure.

Too big and too heavy.

This replaces a Vanguard ball head. This one takes care of several problems that one had. I like the quick release plate, easy on and off for the camera. When I lock it down the camera doesn't droop a little bit the way it did on my last ball head. And it does have a bubble to tell you when you are level, a feature that was a requirement for me when I was looking for a new tripod head. Overall very satisfied customer.

Disappointing

Does what it should but for the price paid it is disappointing. 1) Mounted to my D 850 with a 150-600mm lens, I am unable to lock to a focus point due to the ball head Sagging after I tighten down. I have to over compensate higher and allow the ball head to sag down. 2) The base plate only fits in one way..doable but a real inconvenience.

Impressive design
