For setting up my camera it works great...I might end up getting something fancier that will be more precise. Since when you loosen it, everything is loose left/right and forward/back..as opposed to loosed left/right or forward/back. But, once it set and level, and works perfect!

Is it easy to turn/swivel - such as to face mic toward speaker - without loosening lock, and without base getting loose?
Asked by: Nesanel
Yes, the Vello Multi-Function Ball Head with Removable Bottom Shoe Mount is designed to do just that, articulate whatever is attached to it with ease. If you need a rock solid option, take a look at a monitor swivel instead.

Can you swivel in middle of use - like a tripod head, or does it get fixed in one position once you tighten it?
Asked by: benjamin
You have to loosen the knob in order to make any adjustments on the ball mount.

question

Is this product made with aluminum on the most part. Shoe mount, body? Ball head?
Asked by: Harvey
I believe so. But I had terrible luck with this product - do not buy! The Manfrotto 492LCD Micro Ball Head works like a dream. You pay about $30 more, but it was worth every penny!!!
