The Oben BD-0 Mini Ball Head is the perfect topper for a miniature or table-top tripod model. Constructed of aluminum, the BD-0 functions like most full-sized ball heads but features a supremely low-profile design. A single-action lever loosens the ball and allows it to move freely in all directions, and in addition, a groove allows it to tilt 90° in one direction.
More Details
The BD-0 head can serve as a replacement head for an Oben TT-100, TT-200, or TT-300 table-top tripod. Or it can allow you to properly orient your camera on any other tripod model, whether it has a 1/4"-20 or a 3/8"-16 stud – the head has a 3/8" thread and comes with a reducer bushing to make it compatible with the 1/4"-type stud.

What would be the reasons for choosing this ball head over the similar Oben bd-02?
I have four of the BD-0. I haven't seen the BD-02 in person, but the description others have given ring true. I use the BD-0 for holding speedlights and small LEDs. The BD-0 is very similar to the BD-1 that is used on the TT-100 tabletop tripod (which I have). I'd agree with others that the BD-0 should work for a lightweight camera or DSLR with not-too-big lens.
In my use, the BD-0 has been able to hold a good-sized speedlight like the Nikon SB-910 fitted with a light modifier such as a bounce card or "pocketbox", and to hold it firmly on a stand with the speedlight tipped over at an oblique angle to the stand. That's what I got it for, and it has worked well for that.

Would this be a suitable head to use on a Robus RCM-439 4-Section Carbon Fiber Monopod. I'm using a Canon 1D Mark II camera?
The Oben BD-0 Mini Ball Head can be used with the Robus RCM-439 4-Section Carbon Fiber Monopod, 65", B&H # RORCM439. Keep in mind this ball head has a payload capacity of 6.6 pounds, so after factoring in the weight of the Canon 1D Mark II, there would be about 3 pounds of remaining payload capacity for a lens and any other accessories mounted to the camera.

question
Can this be used, effectively, to mount an AX53 and Rode VideoMic Pro on a Selfie Stick? Can the ball head handle the weight? Can it be tightened properly?
The Oben BD-0 Mini Ball Head has a maximum load capacity of 6.6 lbs. The Rode VideoMic Pro Compact Directional On-Camera Microphone only weighs 3 oz (0.19 lbs), so the Oben BD-0 Mini Ball Head would easily handle the weight of the microphone. As the de VideoMic Pro Compact Directional On-Camera Microphone has a 3/8 -16 thread on the bottom for use on boom poles and audio equipment, you would also need to purchase the Oben 3/8 -16 to 1/4 -20 Reducer Bushing, B&H # OB1039, which would allow you to connect the microphone to the ball head.

question
Hi, I had Oben TT-100 table top mini tripod supplied with Oben BD-1, but recently I lost the ball head. But Oben BD-1 Ball head model is not available separately for sale.Now I want to purchase Oben BD-0 mini ball head. what is the difference between Oben BD-0 and Oben BD-1 model . Thanks
The main difference between the Oben BD-1 Mini Ball Head and the Oben BD-0 Mini Ball Head is the load capacity; the Oben BD-0 Mini Ball Head is stronger, supporting up to 6.6 lbs, while the Oben BD-1 only supported 4 lbs. The BD-0 is also lighter in weight. Otherwise, the two would be similar in size and performance.

question
Is the tightening screw just below the 1/4 -20 made of aluminum or plastic?
The black plastic knob that is used to screw the 1/4 -20 thread into the camera is plastic.
