Q: 3. 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

A: 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.

Q: 4. Why is the Cardellini Manfrotto 492 Ball head more expensive than the Manfrotto 492 micro ball head?

A: The Cardellini Manfrotto 492 Micro Ball Head with Mic Clamp would be a combination of two different products from two different manufacturers, whereas the Manfrotto 492 Micro Ball Head (sold by itself) is a single item from a single manufacturer. As such, the Cardellini Manfrotto 492 Micro Ball Head with Mic Clamp would be higher in price compared to the ball head sold by itself.

Q: 8. What would be the reasons for choosing this ball head over the similar Oben bd-02?

A: Both the Oben BD-0 Mini Ball Head, B&H # OBBD0, and the Oben BD-02 Mini Ball Head, B&H # OBBD02, are very similar. The main difference between the two items is the BD-0 Mini Ball Head has a slim profile platform on the top of the tripod head, while the Oben BD-02 Mini Ball Head has a wide platform on the top of the camera. While both may be used with cameras as long as they are under the maximum load capacity, I would personally recommend the BD-0 for small, lightweight, and slim cameras, hot shoe flashes, LED lights, or other small, lightweight fixtures that use the standard 1/4"-20 tripod connector. The BD-02 with its wider platform would be better for larger cameras such as point-and-shoot super-zoom cameras, larger advanced point-and-shoot, mirrorless, or DSLR cameras, and larger camera accessories that use the standard 1/4"-20 tripod connector and which would benefit from better connection from the wide platform.

Q: 9. What is the height from the base to the mounting area?

A: It is approximately 2 inches.

Q: 10. 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?

A: 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.
