Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this work with an ALTA Pro 2 tripod?

A: Yes, the Vanguard BBH-100 Ballhead would be compatible for use on the Vanguard Alta Pro 2+ 263AT Aluminum Tripod.

Q: 2. Will any standard Arca swiss plate fit this tripod?

A: Reported incompatibility of Arca-Swiss components usually centered around a lever activated clamp. Since this one has a knob clamp, you should have no issue.

Q: 3. does it wiggle when there is wind?

A: While this head would not wiggle in windy conditions, it is important to stay within the load capacity of the head for the best stability.

Q: 4. Can I mount this ballhead on a Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod?

A: The Vanguard BBH-100 Ballhead is compatible with the Manfrotto 055XPROB legs. The Manfrotto 055XPROB legs have a 3/8-16 mount thread, as does the Vanguard BBH-100. The Vanguard also comes with a reducer bushing should you want to mount it onto a set of legs/monopod with 1/4-20 thread.

Q: 5. I'm wanting to replace an older SBH-100 ball head that is on an Alta Pro 264AT tripod with the newer Arca-Swiss Alta BH-100 head but I wanted to know if I can attach the "three legged thing" (QR-11 LC) L bracket to it without any issues?

A: There should not be any issues. This head has an Arca-Type Compatible Clamp, the QR-11 LC L Bracket has an Arca-Type Compatible Plate. This head and that plate are compatible.

Q: 6. Would it work well on a Sirui W-2204 tripod?

A: Yes the Vanguard BBH-100 Ball head will work well on the Sirui W-2204 tripod and many others.

Q: 7. What is the diameter of the base?

A: This head has a base diameter of 2.6 inches / 66mm.

Q: 8. Does this ballhead works on an vanguard alta pro 263ab 100 tripod and is this ballhead arca swiss?

A: According to Vanguard, the Vanguard BBH-100 Ballhead uses the Vangaurd QS-60 plate which they say is an "Arca-Type Compatible Dovetail Plate."

Q: 9. Will this work with the Arca style quick release plates?

A: It sort-of does. The clamp doesn't open wide enough to drop all A-S plates or L-brackets into it, so you may have to slide it in. You'll need a flat head screwdriver to push the safety latch down, though. You'll probably need 3 hands to accomplish such a process as well.

Q: 10. WHAT IS THE RELEASE PLATE PART NUMBER?

A: Vanguard Alta QS-60 V2 Quick Shoe Release Plate B&H # VAQS60V2

[35°] Just used this for 7-days straight. Water, sand, dirt, handles it with no problem. Solid as a rock. Ball head is excellent.

[Ball Head] I actually bought these (I own 2) to pair up with my Kessler Cineslider and they work wonderful. They support the weight easily and the photo ball head makes it very easy to level the slider. I will be using this for photos as well but for my intended purpose they are great.

[Ball Head] I am new to photography, and my last Walmart tripod broke. I bought this and it has a learning curve for me as it is a ball instead of the pan style head. I like the ball better I think as it keeps your hands closer and there is less movement than I had with my cheap pan style one. But this is 10000% better overall. Great height and movement. Have already used it to take some good Spider-Web, Moon, and Stars pictures. Would defiantly recommend to someone. If you want to go hiking with it I suggest the Carbon Fiber one as I feel the weight when charring it around even though it is not heavy.

[Ball Head] I purchased the aluminum version of this tripod because I needed something with enough payload capacity for my astrophotography equipment, and I also wanted the multi-angle column system to help with macro photography of subjects at ground level. I'm very picky about build quality and did many days of research before settling on this model. I have yet to use it in the field, but I have tested everything out and inspected the build quality and I am very happy with this purchase. It is well built. Everything important is metal and moving parts actuate smoothly. The extra camera mount for the center column is a nice addition. I'm surprised that it isn't priced higher. I don't often review products, but this one deserves recognition.

[90°] This is my first good tripod head. What a great choice. Very smooth and easy to adjust. I use it with a Nikon D-3200 and the 55-300 zoom lens. There is no flopping forward with the camera and heavy lens - it is secure. Very good quality and no plastic junk.

[1x 1/4"-20 Male] This product is well constructed with quality materials. I did note at least one review claiming it was poorly made but it is my impression the problem is the user, not the product. This ballhead serves my purpose well.

[Yes] This ballhead is replacing a very well-made but, really, too big, ballhead by Manfrotto. Fit's my backpack space and has plenty of strength to handle my Nikon DSLR.

[Yes] Light and solid operation. Even with a 70-200 f/2.8, it stays where I set it.

[Yes] So much versatility. It's robust and easy to use for the most part. It's not as portable as some other tripods but that's not a big deal for me
