Review on 💡 SLIK SBH-120 DQ Compact Ballhead with Quick Release, 4.5 lbs. Capacity, Black (618-325) by Monica Cox

I have the venerable Velbon travel tripod #343E. I was thinking of some modern travel tripods that cost a little over $100, but looking at the stats the only thing they have compared to Velbon is a quick release buckle and a slightly more compact size to carry. The Velbon 343E has served me well and this Slik ball head was the only quick release compact head available at a reasonable price. That works great! I simply unscrewed the Velbon ball head and replaced it with a slick. The Slik works great and is as small as the head it replaced. I like a quick release. The pad you attach to the camera is sold separately but costs more than half the ball head overall - a shame otherwise I would have bought a few extra for different cameras. All in all, this product saves me from buying a new travel tripod. Highly recommended!
