[1.955 lb] Obviously a well-known product with plenty of reviews that are positive, but I had never had the pleasure of using one until now. Rock solid almost seems like I am underselling it - when it is locked up, it feels like a solid piece of metal, incapable of motion. Intuitive, easy to use adjustments, with knobs that are sized very, very nicely. Excellent quality in materials and fabrication - you can tell RRS cares about putting out a good product that performs as advertised - if not better. If this is in your budget range, do not hesitate - this is a purchase that will never end up smelling like regret and bad decisions!

[Yes] Heavy duty. The ball locks tight easily, but when unlocking it sometimes feels sticky for lack of a better word. would buy again as I like it better than my acratech. the quality of construction is certainly top notch. lastly the design for the main locking knob i thought was odd but having used it i quiet like it.

[+90° to 0°] I have had this for several years, and bought a second onw now for a friend. This is super sturdy. Using it with Canon 1DXMk3 and EF11-24mm. Super sturdy. My tripod is Gitzo 5 series and 4 series. You will never have any problems with sagging with this one.

[+90° to 0°] Works so well on the large Platypod and easily as good as my Arca Swiss equivalent.

[Yes] This is just a phenomenal product. Quality that is rare these days. I have found the feature to put some pre tension into the ball head to stop your camera from flopping around to be a very good. It is easy and lightning fast to acquire a level camera like no other tripod head I have ever use. It is also silky smooth and the over size position locking knob is perfect. I was told that the weight of it would be and issue, I don't agree. I hike with mine and fined really no issue. To have this stunning level of quality you will get some weight. What ever extra weight you carry it is totally out stripped by the function and performance of this state of the art tripod head. I could not be happier with my purchase.

[+90° to 0°] Expensive but you get what you pay for.

[Yes] Firstly buying this RRS ballhead from B&H is hazard free, they have fast shipment at reasonable rate (ordered in Mon & received on Fri, shipment to Singapore), and help to take care of the import tax in your country.
Although this ballhead is small size, light weight, it is strong and can hold a much heavier load.
This ballhead can help to do precision adjustment, and will not move at all after you tightened the ball.

[Yes] such smooth operation, payload handling is phenomenal, and best build quality I have seen. RRS will probably be the only other equipment other than Gitzo that I will ever purchase.

[Yes] Just WOW !!! my second purchase of a RRS product, its so smooth you feel the quality when you first put your hands on it

[Yes] You can see and feel the quality as soon as you open the package and in use it is amazing. The holding strength with the ball at an angle is very impressive and has never let me down. There is virtually no slippage which is critical on long exposures. Superb engineered Tripod head and the best I have ever purchased and out in the field it is not only very easy to use but precise in making adjustments and handles my large lens (Nikon 300 F2.8 with TC1.4x extender) with absolute ease.
