Love this lightweight ball head!

I needed a simple ball head that had the features I needed but without unneeded bells and whistles. It is compact and lightweight. I put it on a Sirui AT-125 legs for a very lightweight and compact tripod for my watercolor painting setup.
Works as desired

It holds my camera as it is designed. The learning curve was easy as I have used ball head camera mounts on tripods before. The quick release plate helps speed the process of going from hand held to tripod.
