[+90° to -80°] I bought this to use with a Peak Design tripod with the Universal Head adapter, since I wanted to do pans, and the stock PD head doesn't have a panning capability. Panning axis has just the right amount of resistance, and the large knob locks the ball securely for my DSLR with a 200mm. I didn't miss/don't see the need for a separate friction control on a ball this size. Great compact travel head.

[Yes] Smaller than expected for its weight capacity and the knobs are smooth when tension applied. I just wish they made a larger one.

[Yes] I originally purchased the 3LT Punks - Travis which comes with the airhead Neo ball head. This is a great travel tripod and I love it. However, my gear has now expanded to include the Canon 6D M2, and a Sigma 150-600. I started to notice the NEO was struggling to hold my camera in position, particularly when the lens was extended to 600mm. Rather than upgrade the whole tripod, I thought I would first start by upgrading the ball head to the airhead pro. It works like a charm, even at 600mm I was able to take a tack sharp photo of the moon, The camera was rock solid. Arrived very quickly (I’m in Canada) with no issues or hassle. Very happy, would recommend.

[+90° to -80°] I am using this ball head on one of my Astro Photography rigs. It is quite tougher then I expected and has no problem supporting a heavy load. My heaviest DSLR rig with lens and guide scope & camera weighs 16 pounds and this little beauty handles is just fine.
I would purchase another one of these if needed... with out hesitation.

[1.11 lb] Bought this as I couldn't stand the ball head that comes standard on the excellent Peak Design carbon fiber tripod. It doesn't add noticeable weight and it's only a few inches longer to pack this already very compact tripod. As an added bonus I don't need to raise the center column and more.

[+90° to -80°] Perfect for my needs. Seems very well made. Good price too.

[1.11 lb] I've used a number of tripod heads over the years but this one may be my favorite. I now shoot with the Nikon Z mirrorless system exclusively so I would recommend getting the 3 Legged Thing L bracket for the Z6/Z7 which really compliments this particular ball head. As for the head itself, it's compact yet extremely sturdy. The ball head adjustment knob dampens down movement in a very precise and controlled way, there is no slop at all, unlike other ball heads. Plus you can use this on any tripod with a 3/8th screw mount. I have mine on a Benro carbon fiber tripod which makes it light as a feather. Another bonus is the leveling bubble which I have found to be extremely helpful especially when dealing with uneven ground. I've been shooting for over 30 years at this point so I'm kind of jaded when it comes to new photo accessories, but I'm absolutely jazzed over this new ball head. It's made tripod shooting so much more pleasant and user friendly. Get one and see for yourself!

[Yes] It works as advertised. The quality and performance is perfect. Definitely recommend. I added it to the Peak Design CF tripod for the panning aspect.
