I don't usually write reviews but this is such a great ballhead for the money. I've had 4-5 heads in the $20 to $250 range and this is by far my best result. It's rock solid, but the best part is that it locks in half a turn! This makes using it an absolute dream. The QR trigger does the same thing, allowing me to flip the camera right out of the lock (up without moving it), making switching to portrait mode (I use L-brackets) super fast. Overall just a fantastic ball head. Considering I travel I would never buy a larger diameter lens, it's rock solid even with large lenses (tested on an old manual 400mm f2.8). I could take a second so I never have to think about another head again
