28mm Metal Tripod Ball Head

I use this mount to support my camera, heavy lens, microphone, and a prompter—all mounted together—and the setup gets quite heavy. I needed a joint that could hold everything securely in place without slipping, and this product fits the bill perfectly! I’ve tried cheaper alternatives, and while they worked for the first 10 minutes, they gradually started giving in to the weight, which is a huge problem if you’re in the middle of recording. With this mount, that’s no longer an issue. Once you set it up, it stays in place virtually forever. Never needed to readjust. The build quality, durability, and precision are outstanding! Every turn of the knobs is smooth, and you can tell it’s been crafted with care and attention to detail. The quick-release mechanism is also incredibly easy to use, making adjustments a breeze, and it does look good with my camera :) Don’t waste your money on cheap options that will fail when you need them most. Invest in this one from the start—you won’t regret it!

It gets the job done. Feel really high-end compared to the other gear I have had in the past. Not a 100% critical piece for my setup, but it ABSOLUTELY elevates it!

Great ballhead for the money. Holds camera, Canon R7, in place with no issues. Fits great on my ifootage monopod

Product was delivered on time. Have not had the opportunity to use it yet, but looking at it, it has great quality and smoothness.

I attach this to a large tripod and mount my StarLink on it. It allows me to get the perfect angle and direction so my StarLink is at the absolute perfect angle and direction. It has no problem with the weight of the full-size StarLink. Highly recommend

Replaced a 16oz. head with the 7oz. K&F 28mm ball. So far, good ability to adjust tension on the ball, but TAKE THE TIME to adjust camera/lens balance using your plate first! For my Canon 100-400mm, I used the HITHUT 100mm universal quick release QR plate-fits this perfectly and lets me adjust center of balance so that the lens/camera stays under control even when slightly tilted. Only quibble so far is lack of clearance between ball tension lever and ARCA base plate (see photos) which causes a problem when you tilt the camera in that direction. K&F: consider making that neck just a bit longer &/or redesigning the lever.

As a general rule I don't really like ball heads and rarely use them if there is any other option. It's usually too hard to accurately aim the camera and lock it in place without having it sag when you let go of it, losing your aim point. For most purposes I prefer a standard three way head like the very sturdy Manfrotto #3047, or for when I want to be able to follow moving subjects, a gimbal head like the moderately priced Movo GH700 MK II. (You can pay a lot more, and probably get some advantages, but this one works for me and my budget.) The exception is for mounting the camera on a start tracker which is in turn mounted on a geared head. In that case the ball head can stay locked in place because you're making the adjustments with the geared head. I'm using this one with a K&F Concept three way geared head and an iOptron Skytracker Pro. and the main problem I'm having is not enough clear nights!

I bought 2 of these for use on my bigger tripods but wanted to test this on a cheap little desktop style tripod. It immediately upped the quality of this small tripod and I spend the day shooting outdoor video on my camera using this set up. It is built strong, it is heavyweight which in this case makes a difference and adds to the quality while still making it easy to get into the various positions. I put a quick release on it to switch easily between iPhone and camera.

I bought this head to replace a worn out Joby with the larger cups. I use it for action cameras and small micro 4/3 camera with wide angle lens. usually as a B camera on a wild life shoot either on land or in a river. It fitted perfectly on the tripod and functions very well to aim the camera, focus and let it record without sagging due to the weight. In fact it gives me more options that the original ball head that came with the Joby tripod AND I keep the versatility of the cups of the tripod that allows easy adaption and mounting on all kind of surfaces. Keep in mind that you can use this with smaller camera setups only as it is not designed for large camera systems

Holds up my Canon EOS M50 just fine. I also like that it came with an adapter. When I tried to screw the ball head on my tripod, it was too big. I was frustrated as I really needed to use the ball head and I was thinking I had to return it. But then I found the adapter in the package, screwed it into the ball head, then attached to my tripod. Easy peasy.

I use it to mount to a Baby Receiver, and C stand. Good fluid accurate movement. Package arrived on time with all the contents.

As advertised this item worked perfectly with my Manfrotto monopod . The price point was good and would recommend this item

Pour remplacer ma tête de trépied qui commençait à ne plus tenir le poids de mon kodak elle est vraiment tough!! La plaque est compatible avec mon ancienne quick release fak c'est parfait! Je conseille de bien vérifier le serrage de la plaque sur la rotule car j'ai du remettre un coup de tork pour bien la stabiliser (la clé Allen est fournie!)
