Could Hold BetterAug 03, 2008
By Grizmt
I purchased this ball head for a mono pod. It does not hold as good as the "SLIK Compact Ball Head" I bought for a small tripod. The force needed to really tighten down the ball movement is excessive. I would say it takes at least twice the pressure on the turn screw then The "SLIK" does and probably more. I use a mono pod for fast wild animal shots and the excessive tightening is a distraction that causes me to loose shots or have the camera move on the ball if not tight enough. If I keep up with this hobby I will probably replace it in time. The two compact ball heads looked the same, and I probably thought it was the one I bought before, but the difference is night and day.

Sunpak has a nice finish but doesn't lock well, still has some creeping movement when added pressure is applied not so with the Slik SBH-100 ball head which has a better locking lever.

 Good PortableOct 20, 2007
By George Foxworth

I purchased the Sunpak Ball Head to go with my Gorilla portable minipod. I've used it several times with the SD20 and it is quite able to handle the weight of a digital SLR with a mid-range zoom lens. It's a great accessory for the price.

I got this for my monopod and it works very good I recommend for monopod and tripods.
A great value over its higher priced competitionApr 28, 2008
By Careful Driver
It does its basic job well - can be screwed on tight on to a base and holds the camera/camcorder quite steady. I use it on a homemade mount that attaches to my car seat of shooting video while driving. I get very steady shots.
The only limitations of this unit is that it isn't as easy to screw/unscrew a camera to it. I would recommend this over higher priced units for light use.
