I have used one of these pistol grip ball heads for years and just purchased one for the studio where I work. It's so easy and quick to adjust. I wouldn't even look at other models. Price was reasonable also.

It says that you could Installs onto any tripod with a 3/8-16 screw and is not true. I will return this one.

The Best Camera Grip

By Peter

We have been using these for over ten years and have one for every camera in studio and out.  It is the easiest grip to use that we have found and I have tried them all.  They discontinued this grip for a short time in favor of their side grip which might be fine for video but not for stills.  If it becomes loose there is a spot to tighten it at its base with a small Allen wrench or you can send it in but really dont need to.  This is the best grip we have used.

Exactly what I needed

Wish I bought sooner - (Heads up for first use)

Just buy it. The quickness you can move with a pistol grip ball head is amazing. Wish I had bought one sooner. Be aware that when you first get this ball head it will have a 1/4 20 screw adapter installed on the base. You'll need a flat head screwdriver to gently give a few turns to take it out so you'd be able to attach it to the 3/8-16 Thread on your Tripod.
