3 out of 5 stars Well made but has Downside   June 30, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

This product is sturdy and well made. However, as both the vertical and horizontal setting are controlled by one lever, it is difficult to really make sure your shots are level horizontally - independent of the tripod which oftentimes has a bubble setting to assure horizontal alignment.
Also, I have a EOS 1D Mark III plus a zoom lens, if you want to take vertical shots (as in turning the camera to its side), it seems that no matter how hard you secure the lever, the camera will droop down.



5 out of 5 stars convenient and easy to use   June 21, 2008
Really easy and convenient to use instead of the standard head that comes with most tripods.


3 out of 5 stars Good for the money.   June 1, 2008
This ball head does a good job for the money. I would eventually like to get a Markins, but that will be a large chunk of cash.

This is a well built ball head that is good if your on a budget. Holds wait well without sag. Now that I have used it awhile I am wishing I had paid up a little bit to get one with a separate control for panning (a feature I initially didn't think I would need at all).

Great value for the money though. (tested with d80 with battery grip, heavy fast lens and a speedlight without sag)



5 out of 5 stars Heavy, sturdy, quick release, versatile   May 28, 2008

Bogen has always made quality products over the years and with the many I have bought and used. In this case this ball head rapid connect works exactly as it should and I have used it atop my Gorilla SLR pod as well as on other SLIK, and Bogen mono and tripods. Very well made and fast release when needed and always a smart option to have in quick changing environments.
