Review on 📷 SIOTI Ball Head Camera Mount: Versatile Tripod Mount for DSLR, Mirrorless, Camcorder & More by Jesse Azuse

I understand most people buy these ball heads for cameras but I use them to hold gadgets. I've tried different brands and price points and the best way I can describe it is that you can get a quality $40-$50 ball head for around $16. Now back to what I use it for: I've put together a couple of mounts for the iPad and the Surface Pro. My requirements are that the ball head must be able to support about 2 pounds (and still at odd angles), be easy to adjust, and be accessible. Also the ball head itself needs to be fairly light as it is at the end of the arm and every gram affects the stability of the rig (I have tried some high quality ball heads that literally weigh the same as the unit and arm due to their weight). This thing achieved all of those goals. Also of note is that the cheapest ball heads have a nicely polished ball. which means they crawl with little vibration. This is structured and stays in place very well. The only way to improve on this ball head is to make the fixed base a little smaller in diameter (for people like me who need to mount it on something else and need clearance). for additional adjusting screws etc.)
