It appears this ball head may be for another type of camera (video) although I cannot find anything in the listing that indicates what it is used for. I ordered this head with a manfrotto table top tripod. The micro ball head bore (screw top) is too large for any camera I own. I've had to order another head to work with the Manfrotto tripod. It is too bad because this is a solid head otherwise.
Compared to the most expensive Online Store, this is the exact same product for 5 time cheaper. A huge savings for my company and my Customers. I'll be coming back here for future purchases. Fast Order processing.
But I value the ease and flexibility in wild life situations, such as rain forests, where shot opportunities are often fleeting and lighting is often low (even during the day). It was perfect for my uses with small to medium sized equipment (12x optical w/ IS), but would probably not be suitable for lager bodies and lenses.
It allowed me to take good pictures of frogs and other Costa Rican wildlife behind glass and during night hikes using just a (good quality) LED flashlight for lighting (better than flash). It allowed me to prop against walls, ground, etc.
Bogen-Manfrotto 482 Micro Ball Head(5 stars for my purposes, 4 stars over-all)I found this ball head to work great with my monopod (Manfrotto 790B, giving a high degree of flexibility and stability in low/lower light situation. The quality is much better that other small ball heads I looked at.
for good stability in many different angles and position, even without tightening down the ball. It is also compact enough to not get in the way when hanging the monopod on my arm or using the monopod for a walking stick at other times.
For those I would use a tripod and a larger ball head. It is very easy to spin off & on my camera ( w/ monopod & head in vertical position) with the extra bulk and expense of a quick release head.
Hace mas de 2 años que poseo una Canon PowerShot A640 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom, esta es mi primera camara digital y lo que aprendi con el uso diario me llevo a la necesidad de comprarme un trípode practico y portátil. Eso me llevo a comprarme el Joby GP3-01EN Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Flexible Tripod for Digital SLR Cameras, el cual al contrario de los modelos 1 y 2 no trae la cabeza flexible para poder ajustar los ejes de vision de la camara.Buscando en la red y leyendo muchos foros, blogs y grupos de flickr, me decidi por comprarme esta cabeza de trípode sin muchas expectativas.La verdad es que funciona a la perfeccion con el Gorillapod3 lo cual lo convierte en casi una compra obligada si posees unos de estos tripodes.La camara se ajusta firme y el sistema de bola permite girar casi a cualquier lugar la misma.En cuanto a la construcción, es muy resistente no es del tipo plástico frágil, se siente muy solido y se nota que resiste el uso intenso.
I have a small Slik Sprint Pro tripod that came with a small ball head. The Slik head wouldn't keep my DSLR with a medium zoom locked, so I replaced it with this head. The 482 works great and is the perfect head for this light tripod - certainly not as stable as a larger head and tripod but the combo works great when weight is a premium.
