I've had this ball head for two years now and it's fine. There was always some play when tightening the screws, making it difficult to set the shot. I have to set it a bit higher as the whole camera slides down, and that's well below the 39 pound load limit on a Canon 7D and a 17-55mm f/2.8 lens. The handles of the clamping screws have also shifted, so screw them in at a slight angle, causing them to rub against the threaded shank. It doesn't affect performance, it's just a quality issue. Eventually, the nylon ring used to hold the ball rose and jumped out of his head. I was able to push him back and he seems to be back where he should be. Although I am disappointed in the product. I bought my girlfriend an XCSOURCE ball head for $30 and she outperformed this Induro ball head in every way. It worked when I started shooting, but I think it's time to just switch to the Arca Swiss Monoball Z1. [UPDATE] So I continued to use that loose ball head even after the little tension knob fell out. on the tourist trail. Well, until the big knob was unscrewed instead of loosening the ball. Downgrade to one star. Don't worry, I bought the Oben ball head for less and it's a cut above the Induro in terms of quality and ease of use.
