Very well designed and for a tiny tool, a lot of useful details have been developed, as the little handle to screw the camera to the support, the fine screw to block the ball, etc.
Another plus; it is made in Italy ;-)
Pro
Contra
The ball head is very well made, the friction of the ball is ok.
Unfortunately, I could not sufficiently fix the connection to the Manfrottostativ, so that with slight rotations of the unit, the head came off the tripod.
Attaching a flash to the camera or using a zoom 4/70-200, the camera could not be held in the desired position by the interchangeable plate in portrait mode, although it was fixed by means of the screw. The camera rotated downward on the interchangeable plate. The total mass was less than 4kgrams!
Used with a Manfrotto BeeFree. Perfect fit
very good performance
Pro
The ball head is perfect, easy to use and corresponds to what I was looking for.
