I have a SmallRig mini tripod but it didn’t come with a ball head and my spare ball heads fit larger threads. I saw this ULANZI head with a 1/4" thread, and it seemed to be just the right size for my needs. I have a Lumix S5ii within a SmallRig cage. So, it already has an Arca mounting..The ULANZI is light, well-built and holds my camera with a 70-300mm lens perfectly rigid, with no slippage at the ball whatsoever, even if I apply force to the lens. The tripod flexes first. It is a pretty small item. I particularly like that the clamp screw is flat and not a round, knurled knob. I can get a really good purchase on it to tighten the ball. The ball sounds rough as it moves with a loosened clamp but this probably assists with the 10Kg load capability, increasing the friction. I don’t find the noise to be an issue. Note, there is no panning feature with this mount. You’d have to loosen the clamp to rotate the camera on a full-size tripod. It is not an issue at all for a table-top tripod setup, or maybe a monopod with a small camera, since it is quite small..The cold shoe mounting is stiff and can be rotated to suit whatever you are fitting there without tools (Allen keys included), such as a light, though it is close to the bottom of the camera. Therefore, it may result in ideal adjustment issues for anything large. I don’t tend to use cold shoe mounts, and if I did, I’d use one of the cage’s shoe mounts..$25 with a 5% discount coupon is a reasonable price and I can confidently recommend it for table-top applications. For anything else, I’d certainly recommend a much larger diameter ball head with panning. This one just feels tiny.

I actually use this to hold my MX Brio. I find this very useful as I place it as tightly as possible between my 4k monitors at eye height to maintain eye contact when vlogging/reading on my monitor. I really hate nostril or forehead cams. The Ulanzi ball head allows me to remove the camera when I am not using it to prevent overlapping in front of the monitors while watching a video or whatever. I also have a very nice Fox microphone on the same mini tripod using an extension bar bracket. This allows me to keep the mic just behind the monitors preventing weird focused sounds from the curved 4k monitors. The camera is on an extension to get it above the mic and the Ulanzi on top to adjust to perfection without extra bulk. If necessary I can add a small video light (or second small mic) on the convenient cold shoe if I don't want to use studio lighting. Now if someone would make a Brio quality cam vertically oriented for a reasonable price I would be ecstatic. But the Ulanzi is perfect for my application and the quality is excellent!See alsoTriple Cold Shoe Mount, Gimbal Microphone Light Extension Bar Bracket Aluminium Alloy with 1/4in and 3/8in Screw Holes for DJI OM 3/2, for Zhiyun Smooth 4, for Feiyu Gimbal Stabilizer(Black)HeiyRC Mini Vlog Tripod for DJI Pocket 3 OM 4 5 Osmo Mobile 2 3, for GoPro Max Hero, for Insta360 X3 X4 X2, ZHIYUN Smooth Hohem Feiyu Stabilizer DSLR Camera Desktop Tabletop Stand Grip Accessories

This head is all metal , and very sturdy. I have used it with my Sony A7III WITH Battery grip and plate mounted on my 70-200mm F/2.8 lens . It locks very tight in all positions. . So far I have not had any issues with it. It is a lot smaller than I expected, but work great.

Originally purchased this item for some small cameras ie action cameras, point and shoots. Out of curiosity I wanted to see if it would hold up to a gh5 with a very heavy telephoto lens and to my surprise there was no problem whatsoever! I thought I would have to really wrench hard on the ball head for it to work with that weight but nope, I didn’t need to do that (even though I went ahead and tightened it extra anyway to be sure) I wouldn’t recommend using this ball head with that kind of wait on it. I was in a pinch that day because I forgot my other gear. So it’s just nice to know it can handle the weight if needed. I keep it in my bag all the time as it’s useful and light weight. I also use it with the small portable LED lights from Ulanzi on the mini light stands as well as on those cheap plastic mic stands. The arca plate that comes with it is hex screw only and I prefer the finger tightening type screw but after seeing how strong the unit is I can see why they ship it with a hex screw so that you can get it super tight on heavier equipment. I wish they would sell extra plates separately so that I could have them perma-mounted on a lot of my gear!

Cant compare to others as its been a couple of years since i updated my tripod mount. Very happy with this though! Can mount my camera on it and point it into ANY direction and lock it tight and not worry about it slipping or moving. (this is with 4 months usage) literally perfect for my usage and im sure there was newer ones out when i purchased it. but whoever reccomended it to me on youtube said what i needed to hear. and ive not looked back on this purchase since.reccomend as it does what it says on the tin. cant speak for the newer versions

This ballhead is very small. I would not trust a DSLR on this tiny ball head. Maybe good for a phone but I would not trust it even with a small camera let alone a DSLR like advertised. Keep your money.
