Q: 2. What is the diameter of the ball?

A: The ball diameter is approximately 30mm.

Q: 3. Does the locking pin align with the SmallHD monitor pins? Most of my smallrig pins are too far off center to hit the hole.

A: If the locking pins on the Wooden Camera NATO Mount to Ball Head Ultra Arm v2 with 1/4"-20 & 3/8"-16 Combo do not line up, they can be removed. If this is not an option, something like the Kondor Blue Swivel and Tilt Monitor Mount with ARRI Style Mount might be a better fit. It incorporates a lip, instead of pins, to keep your monitor from swiveling.

Q: 6. I heard that it's hard to detach camera from it. Is it true?

A: Untrue. I have a D750 and its a piece of cake to put it on and take it off. The trick is to leave your camera offset from the final position you want to set it too. Tighten down the knob until you can't turn it anymore, then physically twist the camera the last 45 to the final position. This makes it extra tight. To remove, just reverse the order. Very very simple. This is an awesome ball head. Don't give it a second thought, you will not be disappointed.

Q: 9. This ball head looks like it can go easily in landscape position, what about portrait position?

A: Basic answer is that I could discard all my other tripods and keep this one. It's THAT good in any position even with a heavy camera and I use D4s and D3s bodies. Camera position is very fast and simple in every dimension.

Q: 10. I asked on a RE page on FB if anyone had experience using the MagicBall. I was told that a gear head would be what is needed for RE photography. Does anyone use it for RE work?

A: It all depends on how precise you wish to be with your RE photography. If just a then/now, you can shoot with this marvelous head in roughly the same spot of the original photography. Being honest, you could just handhold the camera for causal RE photography. On the other hand, If you are contracted to analyse soil erosion, then a more precise head will likely be necessary.
