Pros & Cons
Pros
This has one of the best knobs i've ever felt. Has a bubble level thing. I love the art of simplicity to functionality and this meets both of those.

Highlights
Quality

Packaging/appearance

I wanted a ballhead/quick release that felt right at home on top of the switchpod.
Competitiveness
I still need to purchase the ball joint, but i purchased this to use for a trip where i will use a canon sx720 hs.
This little ball-head will support 3kg (6.
