Review on BE-126 🎾 Ball Head by Oben by Antonio Gonzalez

UPDATED: My diving problem was user error. I did not tighten the thumbscrew on the camera plate enough. As long as you make sure the thumbscrew is snug against the camera plate, this thing can easily support a lot of weight. Tested vertical shooting with a plate mounted on the camera (not the tripod ring on the lens) with a 70-200 f/2.8 lens and the result was consistent. This is the most extreme weight most users can handle. The main adjustment knob was still leaking fluid when it was new, which was annoying but didn't seem to affect functionality. Now I am happy with this product and will keep it. OLD CHECK: Fluid was leaking all over the main control knob. The ball head also did not support my camera when shooting in portrait format. It was a Fuji XT3 with a Canon 100mm macro lens. The lens started to dive the moment I took my hands away, no matter how hard I tightened the knob. This ball head can't hold around 3 pounds when it says 26 pounds.
