Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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.
