 Lightweight and easyAug 25, 2007
By Kelly
The one thing that kept my Velbon MAXi 343e tripod from being perfect was the lack of quick-release on its PH-243 ball head. Money flows fast enough into the hobby that I made do until recently switching to Velbon's QHD-41Q. I wish I had done it years ago!
The ball is very steady; it's rated for up to 5 pounds but my equipment hasn't been more than 3. The QR mechanism slides out after flipping the lever and snaps back into place for quick deployment. It came with an adapter for a larger tripod screw, but it wasn't needed for the MAXi.
For the money and weight, this was my perfect solution. The tripod and ball head now weigh less than 2 lbs, 2 oz, and are easy to carry anywhere.
 Good for the priceMar 30, 2012

This is a good ball for the occassion use. It is a bit sticky, but for the price it is a good ball. I tried it on my gitzo monopod. It fit well on the monopod. It was sturdy enough for my Canon 7D. I did return it because I got a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 II IS lens that I wanted to use with my monopod. This head is not rated for this weight. It was too much for it. So I untimately returned it and got a RRS monopod head, for alot more $$$ :( . Thankfully, I picked up the telephoto lens shortly after I purchased it and had used it very little, so there was no problem returning it. I love Amazon! If I had not picked up the 70-200mm I would probably still be using it.
Extremely Pleased with this BallheadFeb 23, 2009

I set out to purchase the best ballhead for my needs and I instantly assumed that I had to spend upwards of a hundred dollars. After doing some reading online, I realized that I was wrong. This ballhead is a perfect fit to my Velbon El Carmagne tripod. It came with the additional threaded screw for whatever tripod you own. It even came with a tool for securing the screw in place, properly.
I have a Nikon D40 and 18-135 lens and it is extremely sturdy in my tripod. It should be able to handle any mid size DSLR and any Consumer Lens or wide angle lens that you happen to have on your camera.
The only thing that I wish it had was a built in level but for the money, it was well worth it. I can always purchase a level for my hotshoe but I doubt that I will even use it... Enjoy!
