Review on 1K Ball Head By Joby: Boost Your Camera'S Stability And Maneuverability by Brian Cox

Perfect for the Switchpod

Short version: this is the perfect accessory for a Switchpod. It is small enough to keep the setup nimble yet provides the exact functions I needed.Long version: I recently got the Switchpod for my Canon M50 and wanted a ballhead/quick release plate that did three things:1) Small size. The whole point of the setup is to stay small and nimble so I didn't want a large, complicated ballhead with lots of knobs. I wanted a ballhead/quick release that felt right at home on top of the Switchpod.2) Snap in quick release. Almost all quick release options require an additional knob to tighten down. I wanted something that I could snap in easily.3) Basic ball head movement when I want it but steady when I don't. Most of the time this will be locked in to basic landscape orientation. But I did want to be able to change the angle or go into portrait orientation for the few times that will happen.I am happy to say, this seems like the perfect answer to all my requirements! I think this is a must add for anyone who has a Switchpod. I plan on getting a second just so I can have the same snap-in quick release on my monopod as well.

Pros
  • Title says it all.
Cons
  • I used it for my APS-C DSLR camera and it's not stable and sturdy at all.
