The Sunwayfoto XB-28 Low-Profile Ball Head for Photographyis Arca-type compatible, and it has a load capacity of 9.9 lb, which is suitable for point-and-shoot and mirrorless cameras. Also, the ball head is ideal to use together with tabletop and small tripods because of its compact 2.6" in height and minimal weight of 0.4 lb. Furthermore, the main locking knob is located off to the side of the ball head instead of on the bottom, which lowers the center of gravity on the head. Also, the main knob has a ratchet feature that pulls out and repositions to gain better leverage for locking and unlocking the knob. Additionally, the head rotates a full 360° by unlocking the independent pan lock, and the CNC-machined aluminum has been anodized with a durable satin finish.

[Ball Head] I found this to be just the right size for a Gorillapod tripod and a perfect compliment for micro-4/3rds gear. Add to it ARCA compatibility and a low price and it is a definite winner.

[Ball Head] I never heard of Sunwayfoto until I bought one of their Arca-compatible plates and was impressed with the quality and attention to detail - not something you normally think about in a tripod plate. This head is beautifully machined and rock-steady. I tried it with a 16 pound view camera and it was very stable (no sagging) but remained easy to adjust. It works just as nicely with lighter equipment. The ball locks solidly well before the friction knob is fully tightened. The friction limiter is a small thumb- or coin-adjustable screw set in to the friction knob. The friction, panning and clamp knobs are metal (no rubber cover) and have a machined texture that can be a bit hard on the fingers. It's a low-profile head which means the stem from the ball to the clamp is short. If you're using the cutouts there are certain orientations where the clamp may bump the friction knob. The bullseye level on the long side clamp can be moved to the shorter side if you prefer.

[Ball Head] I got this to attach my mirrorless camera to a superclamp and then to the 1 iron pipe column of my home brew copy stand. It is ROCK SOLID and easy to align. I bought a 3/8 screw stud to hold it onto the superclamp with a little extra stability. I'm copying prints, slides, and negatives with my macro lens, instead of using a scanner. I could not be happier with the results.

[Ball Head] I was surprised to read that this little ball head can take 10 pounds of gear.  Its really strong.  Im using it with my Nikon D500 with the
200-500 lens on a Manfrotto monopod. 
Yes I would buy it again.

[+90° to 0°] I bought this to use on my Gitzo G0012 table-top tripod, and could not be more pleased. The ballhead locks the Arca-Swiss compatible plate securely, as does the pano clamp. It has no trouble holding my Sony A7RII and fairy heavy Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 lens. Highly recommended.

[0.735 lb] This ball head is really amazing for the price, and would be really amazing at three times the price.  Grips tightly, easy to use, quality material, versatile, and super sturdy. Im probably going to buy a few extras before Neewer figures out that they can charge more for this.

Admittedly, for a long time I didn't pay any attention to Neewer, everything they made seemed to be for consumers rather than pros.

But something is changing at Neewer... they are still among the least expensive but their hardware manufacturing and engineering choices have improved dramatically in recent years. Suddenly I own quite a bit of Neewer products. Neewer is the Smallrig of a few years ago.... great prices for really exceptionally produced products.

[+90° to 0°] This is a great and affordable ballhead that I use primarily for overhead camera setup. I have this on a C-Stand and Arm Extension and it uses an Arca Swiss mount which I have plenty of. This really is a simple to use and simple to setup. I personally use a Impact Superclamp and Manfrotto 037 Reversible Short Stud, with 3/8 & 1/4-20 Threads, with all 3 combined it creates a sturdy setup which will hold my camera steady and safe. Highly recommended if you need a ball head for overhead camera shots.

[Ball Head] I wanted a low profile for me window mount to keep the camera at a better height than than my other ball heads. I was surprised by it since it was very inexpensive. Work very well. I did not need something more because I won't be using it that much. Fits in my truck console where it is easy to get to.

[0.735 lb] I am using this ball head on a monopod with a micro 4/3 camera. I wanted the ability to take vertical photos. A ball head isn't usually the best choice for this (I would use a "L" bracket if I could find one that would work with my camera) but this unit has a bit of drag built into it that enables it to work well for this purpose. Combined with a very low profile, the ability to fit in a Pelican 1520 attached to the monopod, ARCA compatibility and a VERY IMPRESSIVE build quality for me it was the perfect product. This ball head is sold at a very low price point and it even includes with a small pouch for storage. While small it does lock securely and I would trust it with my D610 with a 70-300. (If it goes on back order again, be patient, B&H will ship it when it becomes available.)
