Review on Pergear TH3 Pro Tripod Ball Head with 2 Plates – Heavy Duty Photography Camera Ball Head, 360° Fluid Rotation for DSLR Camera Tripods by Joe Glass

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Tripod and monopod pre-test

I just received the product and did a pre-test. I had a job doing similar tests with over 30 years of experience. Before buying, I read all the reviews for this product, as well as for an equally cheaper product. The difference is that for $4 more I got an extra plate and 4 1/4-3/8 jacks. Whilst researching counter plates and clamps, which proved to be a problem for many, here are my findings. In addition to the two plates included with Pergear, the Mefoto and Induro plates (Mefoto 37mm x 60mm included with the Mefoto Globetrotter tripod) are fully compatible with the Pergear clamp and also fully compatible with the Desmond DAC X1 terminal. I prefer the Induro plate because it has a D-ring (no coin or allen key required) and a nicer finish, but each person has a preference. My Benro plate (included with my Benro Slim tripod) is fully compatible with the Pergear clamp but not the Desmond. If someone has trouble with the wrong inserts, you can use an allen wrench and replace the clip with your choice. This was a preliminary test. . I don't claim durability. I will update this review after using this head for a while. I use it with my (also new) Bestshoot mini tripod, which adjusts (doesn't extend legs; just change the angle of the legs) 4", 8", 12" from the table. That's new too and comes with 3 extra legs I will be testing the combo for a couple of weeks and then will write a review on the set I just want to make sure the set is solid also I need to be careful not to remove the screw or something too tight attract so long but i just want to be clear.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
