Benro G36PT Reviews

best light ball head

By Jakob
Rated 5 out of 5

I had and still have many ball heads and I like an inverted ball head design as it keeps the camera closer to the center of rotation. I had the Arca Swiss P1 and then the P0 to save some weight but there was always some small creep more noticeable with macro when tightening. That Benro has not this issue, is very compact and light but very rigid when tightened (does not require a lot of force) holding my Hasselblad X2D with a 90V with no issue at all. The only tripod head which I am still also using is the Arca Swiss D4 geared head which has the advantage of precise adjustments in 2 directions but is far to heavy and bulky for longer hiking in nature or cities.
