> Great SMALL ball head perfect for use with SMALL cameras and other small gear > Nice > Well made. IDEAL FOR SMALL CAMERAS. Perfect fit for my ultra compact monopod. (7 oz.) Norazza Monopod - Lightweight TD140 (ball head body diameter same as monopod and same black color). This summer I used a head, a monopod and a tiny Nikon 8200 in Yellowstone National Park for 20 days and was able to get crisp photos of a red fox that was probably 1,000 feet away (for a 35mm camera that's a 600 -mm camera equivalent). ) . telephoto). I am a former professional photographer and I was pleasantly surprised at the high quality of my photos with this combination of devices. Nikon COOLPIX S8200 16.1 MP CMOS digital camera with 14x optical zoom, NIKKOR ED glass lens and Full HD 1080p video (black) BIG BROTHER FOR LARGE CAMERAS In a pinch, you could use this ball head with a heavier camera use it, but I wouldn't use it with a DSLR or similar camera. Use his older brother instead. Giotto's MH1304-110C Professional Mini Ball Head 1/4" TO 3/8" ADAPTER > Other reviewers were confused by the (included) standard 1/4" to 3/8" adapter. Almost all camera devices use 1/4" connectors, but some European wide format film cameras and some other devices use 3/8" threads. If you need a 3/8" thread, simply unscrew the adapter (with a standard screwdriver about 3/8" wide). then just tighten it with a screwdriver. If that doesn't solve the problem, use some super glue or tighten the threads firmly. Loctite 233722 .20 oz tube Threadlocker Green 290 Nut & Bolt Locking Adhesive Carving may help. Silicone grease also helps the ball move more smoothly - not usually a problem unless you're shooting video, but wipe off excess grease (and discard the cloth) so it doesn't transfer to the lens - it can be very difficult to remove.
