The old tripod has a pan/tilt head but I am unable to level it without adjusting the legs. This ball head will allow me to level it easily. I have a true fluid head for my main video camera. This head will be used on the second one, entirely for static, locked off shots. But this will allow me to adjust and set up shots much more quickly than my older tripod head did. The build quality is every bit as great as the reviews say. All metal construction and nice rubber gripping on the adjustment knobs. The panning base seems fluid enough where i would actually trust it for some minor movements in video. Does not feel cheap or poorly made. Extremely well built. Only critiques I have: 1) There are three knobs on the base. Apparently for vertical lock, horizontal, and an all purpose one? The horizontal lock does as it's supposed to: it prevents it from panning left/right. I can't figure out why there are two others, because both of them appear to just lock the upper ball head part in the same manner. 2) I noticed, right after i ordered, that for two dollars more, you can get the one with 2 plates. Might as well do that. I can't confirm whether the plates/base are arca swiss compatable. Some are saying yes. Some no. Very happy with this product. *** be aware that you'll need an adapter bushing if you want to use this on some tripods/sliders/equipment. It has a 3/8" threading and many require 1/4"-20. But those are cheap and should be something you carry in your bag if you do photo or video work regularly. Review: Great Buy - So I was in the market for a new tripod mount because on my other mount I lost the little top piece that twists into the bottom of the camera. I was scrolling through desertcart and doing research on what I wanted and I stumbled across this one. To be honest I was a little hesitant at first because it was a relatively low price point, benchmarking from comparable tripod mounts. I had some reservations when it came to build quality and mechanical capabilities. I decided to go for it anyway because I needed a tripod mount for a tip I was going on and figured, worst case Id be out a relatively small amount of money. It showed up in two days, faster than the expected due date. When I lifted up the box, I was surprised by the weight. I opened it up and boy was I wrong. The build quality is what you would expect from a high end piece of equipment. The whole item has a nice, weight to it and gives you a nice state-of-mind while shooting because you know it is not going anywhere. It is a very stable piece of equipment. All the knobs are robust and allow for movement even with gloves on. Some of the knobs on this piece are also lined with rubber and ridges to allow for further efficiency in motion. When you unlock the swivel and rotate the tripod mount on the base it is very flush and allows for even continuous motion. The two air bubble levels on the top are also handy and accurate. There is also a little hinge that picks up off the camera screw on the bottom of the top plate to allow easier tightening and loosening of the screw without tools. Overall the attention to detail, build quality, mechanical fluidity, and overall aesthetic lends it to be a good addition to my gear. Highly recommend this mount. I am leaving on Saturday for this trip, so I will see how it performs under stress, but I have no doubts it will treat me well. ## Features - |360 Degree Swivel|: PERGEAR Ball Head Weights Only 406g/14oz, but Provides 8KG/17.6lbs Loading Capacity.

Looking up the Arca-Swiss standard, the opening needs to accommodate 38mm, but my Pergear TH3 only opens up to about 36.5mm. The "standard" Harwerrel won't fit, since it's almost exactly 38mm wide. **Q: Quick Release Plate Size? I lost my Quick Release Plate and i want to buy a replacement but i don't know which one i'm supposed to :(** A: There are small Arca Swiss Plates and Regular... This is a Regular Plate. If you are looking for the best solution for Arca Plates that are the absolute best with Sling Straps like Blackrapid then get the Fusion Plate. Even better than the Black Rapid Arca: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00YQ9PJ0M/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3J1QBDNHE5HFB&coliid=I2LN07ZLE7NA6YCheers! **Q: What's the diameter of the base where it attaches to a tripod?** A: The diameter of the outer ring at the bottom of the base is 5.5 cm **Q: With all the knobs on this ball head, does it come with instructions?** A: Hello Susanne, the supplier didn't place any manual inside the package. We will talk with them and request fro improvement. We will also try to get the PDF manual firstly:) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect budget Ball head *by S***R on June 26, 2017* Picked this up to revitalize an ancient photo tripod that i have.

The ball head was OK but is getting worse; so I was looking for a replacement because the legs are still perfectly fine. I was going to buy a small ballhead from brands such Induro or Sirui. After checking the prices, I took a step back. I started looking for cheaper options and there were several. This Pergear is near the bottom in terms of price but not the cheapest but has decent reviews. Given the low price, I placed an order. It was delivered yesterday and I immediately replaced the old ball head. The ball is larger than the old one and so the whole head is larger; however, interestingly, it does not change much the tripod folded dimensions. In terms of performance, I am more than satisfied especially at this low asking price. Because of the larger ball diameter, it is more secure than the old ball head ever was. Panning is just as smooth as my much more expensive Induro ball head on my larger CF tripod (CT214); I was expecting worse based on previous reviews. The ball rotation, however, is not as smooth but not so bad to be a deal breaker. The clamp can accept Arca Swiss plates but the clamp opening is just a little smaller than standard. So, you can still easily slide the plate in; whether that is a deal breaker is subjective. I have a few AS clamps around, so I simply replace it with an AS compatible one. I highly recommend this ball head if you have a tight budget. I am not brand loyal. My acceptance criteria are strictly performance based. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pergear TH3 Pro DSLR Camera Tripod Ball Head, 8KG/17.6lbs Loading Capacity, 360 Degree Swivel, Metal Build Quality, Fine Tuning Damping, U-Shaped Groove Design for Easy Switching Into Vertical Mode - NICERYIG 3/8 Inch and 1/4 Inch Camera Quick Release Screw Tripod Screw Adapter Connecter DSLR Camera Rig Accessories - PULUZ Metal Handheld Adjustable 3/8" Size Tripod Mount Monopod Extension Rod for DSLR & SLR Cameras --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/10275311-pergear-36mm-aluminum-tripod-ball-head-max-load-up-to](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/10275311-pergear-36mm-aluminum-tripod-ball-head-max-load-up-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
