Review on ๐Ÿ“ท Enhanced Photography Stability: iOptron 3305A SkyTracker Ball Head (Black) by Matt Bokil

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Very disappointing - tripod heads

Ball head material quality is very good. But there is one big BUT, there is either a design or manufacturing defect in the ball head. The fit is too large where the ball stem engages the ARCA plate. The shaft has two flat sides that fit into the bottom of the ARCA plate. Either the groove is too wide or the shank is too narrow. No matter how hard you tighten the fastening screw, the plate rotates a few degrees to either side without much effort. I tried a Canon 60D with a 24mm lens and every time you touched the camera it would rotate. For the price of this ball head, that shouldn't happen. Sent back as defective.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Minor problems
