Low Profile Tripod Ball Head-INNOREL N52,Panoramic CNC Metal Camera Tripod Ball Head with Two 1/4" Screw Arca Swiss Quick Release Plates for Tripod,Monopod,DSLR,Camcorder,Max Load 66lbs/30kg

I will not claim to be an expert on BallHeads... But what I will say thisTripod Ball Head-INNOREL N52 is be best one that I have owned. I have Manfrotto and Vanguard BallHeads. I shoot a lot of portraits in both landscape and portrait orientation so the Ballhead will get a high amount of use. I really like Manfrotto but I really just needed a third option for permanent studio use. I took a chance based on the positive reviews on the INNOREL products. The presentation of this product was good with a carry case and a extra mounting plate. The Ballhead itself was heavy and seemed to be of good quality and rugged. The tension of the ballhead was excellent and feels secure. A low amount of turns will tighten and loosen both the ball and alignment adjustments. The Leveling bubbles are integrated and strategically place for fine tuning. The painted markings for adjustments are clearly defined and are pretty accurate based on light use so far. If I had one critic on this product, It would be the coating on the frame of the Ballhead may be easily scratched. It does nots seem to be a thick coating of paint but the matte finish may be deceiving. Since I am rough on my equipment, this may be a concern over time, but we will see. Over All.... I would buy this product again.

Con- No secondary Tension adjustment..But, the built quality makes up for it. Holds my 100-400mm lense strong and stable. Solid 360 degree one piece metal all around (NO Gap or opening joints). The feel in moving the ball and 360 degree Panorama is firm. I personally prefer this way... for better control and precise adjutment.

Both Innorel N52 and N44 were tested and ranked very high in TheCenterColumn.com's ball head rankings. They are better than many ball heads that are several times more expensive than them. So it is a steal at the price. N44 is pretty lightweight but still provides great performance. I also own several other highly ranked (and more expensive) ball heads, including Sirui K-30X, Kirk BH-1, and Leofoto LH-40. Compared to those ball heads, Innorel N44 does not have that silky smooth movement but still moves very fluidly. Also the panning is very stiff. The main lock knob needs to be turned several rounds to really lock down the ball head. On the other hand, it does provide more fine control of the friction of the ball in this way. It doesn't have a separate tension knob, but I really don't use this feature on my other ball heads, so I don't think I missed anything. I really like the double U notch and low profile design but hope the main knob and panning knob should exchange their locations. Overall I am very pleased with this ball head and would highly recommend it.

I used this over 2 years now, with many long night-time exposures. It feels like a heavy duty construction, and with a large ball, short stem, and tight tolerances, this is a very sturdy product. Vibration has not been an issue.The set screw has a bit of resistance, and requires many turns to tighten and loosen, but I find that manageable. It did lose a star because the set screw can lock up, requiring a set of pliers to unlock. That is annoying when it happens.Overall, though, I am keeping it. For the price, it performs very well.

It turned out great. I use it with an airgun and it is stable and smooth.

Nice ballhead for the price point

This is a great ball head,very sturdy and great looking. Holds my camera solidly. Highly recommend.

I bought this ball head recently. It looked nice and steady. However, I could not rotate the unit and the rotation lock screw was so tight that I can not loose it up. I ended up calling costumer service for a replacement. However, the replacement unit seemed to be a return unit because it did not have proper packaging. Kind of disappointed. The replacement seemed working fine, particularly for its rotation function. So I decided to keep it to give a try.

I needed a different head… but wowzaThis was impressively built. Felt like a tank. I wouldn’t hesitate. Just make sure this is the type you need.

For what you pay, this is really really great.

This is a great tripod head at a great price. I purchased a Benro G3 ball head to go on my mach3 tripod but it was just far to heavy to use for long hikes. This tripod ball head came through a recomendation. It is a very nice quality bit of manufacturing and is of the same if not better build quality as my Benro head at a fraction of the weight (and cost).My only very small criticism would be that the pan locking screw should be swapped with the clamp screw ( see photo attached). And this is purely because the most important screw on a head is the clamp screw as this is what attaches your camera to the head. But for some reason they have used the better of the 2 screws for the pan action as opposed to the clamp. When working out in a cold landscape with bitterly cold wind chill you need all the help you can get when tightening up your clamp to the camera bracket.This would not put me off buying another one of these heads. In fact I may purchase the N36 now to go on my other smaller tripod.
