Review on 🔝 High Performance Koolehaoda Low Profile Ball Head with Arca Swiss Quick Release Plates - Max Load 26lbs/12kg, φ36mm Ball Diameter for DSLR Cameras Tripods Monopods - (E2) by Tonya Brown

Comparing the E2 mini ball head to another ball head with a smaller ball diameter, I thought this product (with a larger ball) could handle more weight . But it's exactly the opposite. It makes no sense. Something must be wrong with the design. One of the main possible reasons I think is the red plastic between the ball and the body. This reduces locking friction and lowers the load rating. As we know, metal-to-metal friction is greater than metal-to-plastic friction. Another disadvantage of this red plastic is that it will shrink and lose thickness over time, leaving you unable to block the ball at some point in the future. more. I also measure the accuracy of built-in bubble levels. It doesn't seem to be calibrated. Both spirit levels are not accurate at all. I'll try the E3 and see if it can hold my hardware securely. Surprised! No better than E2, if not worse. I thought it could hold more weight than the E2, but it doesn't. Also E3 has more problems. First, the wing nut must rotate more than 270 degrees to fully lock the ball. Every time you want to lose or block the ball, you have to pull, turn, turn, turn, which is very cumbersome. I think it also has to do with the red plastic as the plastic is compressible so you have to turn the nut more degrees to lock the ball in place. The second additional problem affects the E3 version - 360-degree panning is not smooth. In about 2 pan ranges I have to put extra effort to pan it even when the pan knob is off, especially when the ball is locked. I think it's because the cylinder is too thin. When you lock the ballpoint pen, the barrel or internal parts will be deformed. I think it's some kind of design flaw. I also measured the accuracy of the bubble equalizers for the E3 version. Same problem, both spirit levels are not accurate.
