[+/- 20°] Sturdy build with super smooth adjustments. Currently using with a Sony a6300 and 12mm on a slider for indoor fitness shoots. The ball head mounts quickly and setting up the camera is a breeze.

[+/- 20°] To be completely upfront, I purchased this pan head as an inexpensive quality-of-life upgrade for my copy stand, which I use to photographically digitize film negatives and slides. Essentially, it probably won't move very much for the next several years. However, in setting everything up, I noticed a few things:


1. The milling and forming of all the components is excellent. I have significantly more expensive tripod heads that don't feel as substantive or tightly assembled.


2. All of the locking knobs are superb. There's hardly any movement once you have things set and locked down, which, again, I can't say the same for other ball heads I own.


3. Even though I'm not using it for myself, I tested the included quick release plate and found it to be quite excellent. It secures quite nicely, it doesn't foul the tilt/swivel screen on the X-T100 I'm using, and I can't think of many cameras where it would cause a problem.


If I weren't making this an explicitly single-use device, I could easily see this as an inexpensive entry for anyone looking to make stitched panoramas, architectural photos, or even as a portable tripod head for video.

[0.665 lb] B&H is the best!

[+/- 20°] Well built. Affordable. Works with d5300, d7500 flippy floopy screens without hampering operation.
Would buy again.

[5.3 x 5.2 x 4"] Very original product suitable for a standard monopode with an unexpensive thread adapter

[1" / 25 mm] We use on copy stand, well made, locks solid.

[1" / 25 mm] In preparation for my trip to Alaska at the end of May, I have been researching cameras and best lenses to bring, type of backpack, walking sticks and or monopod or tripod, clothing, and more.
Today I received my new Trekking Poles from B&H in NYC. it took a few days longer to receive due to the Jewish Hokiday of Sukkah.
As Fed Ex rolled up I thought we were getting some art from Co one day earlier. I didn't expect the poles since I never received a shipping notI ce. I was pleasantly surprised, removing poles from the box.
It was well packed and surprisingly bigger than the poles themselves.
I have two sets of poles. One set is lightweight and made of carbon with great shock reduction. I have used them happily for two years, mostly in the summer in Breckenridge.
In my search I googled trekking poles convertible to a Monod. The less I take in accessories the more room I have for lenses.
I chose the Kahuna Sticks FWS-26. Weight 12 oz each. Removable cork handle allows mounting of camera body directly, or on a ball head. I will discuss my camera and lenses in another post. I have a Newer ball head.
The bottom rubber tip pops if to reveal metal pointed ends for walking on gravel, dirt, etc it underwear to allow mounting a removable tripod base on the 3/8 inch screw. This was a separate purchase. Customer Service was helpful answering my question if my tripod base would fit. I will recommend they add this an accessory to the poles. A photo of the Specs in included.
I immediately set it up, took some photos of the poles, ballhead and tripod base by Koolehaoda Mini Tripod purchased elsewhere.
The poles cost $89.97 with no shipping costs. Kahuna wanted same amounts for two plus $15.00
Preliminary trial of setup- easy. Three screw parts tighten sufficiently to secure poles.
Height washouts be suitable for most shots.
I will take some outings with the poles over the coming weeks.
So glad I found these!
So I highly recommend these as an accessory.

[5.3 x 5.2 x 4"] This item is available in both 1/4-28 and 3/8-16 handle versions. To get the 3/8 option order the HD (heavy duity) model.

[1" / 25 mm] I purchased this Field Optics Research 35 mm Ball Head for a spotting scope setup for myself and for some photography my wife does. The control you are able to achieve over the friction of the ball head is amazing! The way this ball head has the ratchet tensioner for the ball allows for a lot of friction to be applied incrementally which allows so much control. The ball head is smooth those, there's not much jerking which happens while in use and the independent panning lock screen allows the ball to stay tensioned while still moving the head. The weight is amazing too, only about half a pound and the head is all aluminum/steel components so it's very durable. B&H was good on their shipping also and had the best price on this product. I highly recommend this product and this company to anyone considering it!

[0.665 lb] This riser assembly is very well made and of high quality. In wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to fellow photographers or sportsmen.
