NEEWER Low Profile Camera Tripod Ball Head, 36mm Metal Panorama Ball Head Compatible with Arca 1/4” Quick Release Plate for Tripod Monopod Slider DSLR Camera Camcorder, Load Capacity: 33lb/15kg -GM36

I own an older model Oben BC-1 ball head and the technology was just beginning at that time. This Neewer ball mount is amazing. I'm wowed at the ease of use. It locks in place without effort. No drooping. No creeping. The stability is phenomenal! The price point, 😲 😱. I'm using this with my R5 and the 50mm 1.2 lens, and that's a heavy lens, without any issues. The low profile is fantastic. The locking knob fits under the lens which places the level right behind the camera body in front of me. I had no problems using the large mount knob to lock the camera onto the plate. I use a PD camera mount which I keep on my camera all the time and because it's square, I can mount the camera onto the plate in any direction. I'm not using the provided plate. As you can see in the pictures, the camera is held well horizontally on my C Stand. No issues. I truly recommend this mount. I'll be getting a second one to replace my aged Oben BC-1.

Solid build currently using for my GVM BD25R Bi-Color RGB LED Light Wand (24"). Give me the most flexibility went setup this light virtually in any angle and position.

I’ve been doing event video for years and, after using flimsier ball mounts, I was always looking for a way to sturdily mount two video cameras, pointed in two different directions, onto a single tripod. Finally figured out that I could mount two of these Neewer Low Profile Ball Heads onto a flash extension bracket to position and hold the cameras. They are a little larger and heftier than I expected, but that’s all the better. They are stable and secure, with smooth movement, and have absolutely no creep once locked into place. The low profile gives me more a sense of security, and I don’t worry about cameras changing position or falling off the mounts. If you’re looking for a dependable ball mount look no further.

The ball may be aluminum, but much of the rest of the head is plastic. This includes the main housing and the Arca clamp. It's high-quality plastic and will be fine for lighter loads, but won't be as stable as an all-metal unit. The ball clamp feels a bit squishy as a result.

OK, maybe better then some Manfrotto, but still, replaced an old Manfrotto ball head with this one to have Arca plate, and it works great. Light, compact, tight, with good regulation, would say smoother than my old Manfrotto, while being several times less expensive. Holds a mirrorless camera with a large tele-zoom lens without any sign of creep. Wanted a low profile to use it on a Manfrotto monopod, and this turned out to be a good choice.

Works well, seems to lock down tight. Much smaller and lighter than the ball head mount it replaced. No complaints

The head works pretty well and is a bargain at this price, however the design of the plate is such that either the release knob or the protruding level on the opposite side bump against the head locking knob when even at a slight angle, making it awkward to operate. This could have been easily solved with a slightly longer "neck" connecting the plate to the ball.

Good product.

Simple useability and ideal for Timelapse night photography. Compliments my iFootage monopod beautifully.

Doet wat hij doen moet

Top quality. Needed a tripod ball head in a hurry. Not disappointed.

Works fine

Supero mis expectativas, es muy robusto y me soluciona de forma inmediata la fotografía panorámica; el desplazamiento es suave y parejo, sin brincos y se puede controlar muy bien tanto en el movimiento horizontal como el vertical. Me gusto
