FlexShooter Mini Lever Ball Head Reviews

Pricey but perfect for it's purpose

By Keith
Rated 5 out of 5

Great all in one head for travel wildlife + landscape photography, so long as you know it's limitations. Was very impressed at the smoothness and ease of movement with a decently heavy lens mounted on it (~8lb setup). Once you properly balance the lens it felt so effortless to move it around. Great for sports and most wildlife while being a huge upgrade over a traditional ball head/handheld for video. There's the obvious downside of the range of motion vertically being limited, but the impact of that seems minimal outside of some fringe nearly overhead BIF instances.

Love this approach for shooting birds

I've been switching between more traditional ball heads and geared heads when using my OM-1 and the big 150-400mm lens. While I love the stability and adjustability of the geared head, if I see something off to the side, it's difficult to make big changes quickly. This Flexshooter mini works great and solves that problem. It balances very well with my OM Systems big white lens. Also, I'm glad I got the mini and not the larger size --
