The ball head should lt.Spezifikation 25kg can safely carry. I bought it at a GigaPan Epic Pro Panormakopf including Nikon D800 and to take an objective (total weight approx 6Kg). On the Internet there are movies that show how beautifully simple moving and find the head in one position. Unfortunately that is not so in reality. In order for the head at all the 6kg carries without slipping at the slightest movement, you have to turn the small Friktionschraube very firm and then "anknallen" the actual holding screw. In the horizontal position the panorama head is then held fairly. I must tilt your head but not, otherwise the head sags slowly again. By locking the friction screw head is to bring reluctant to another position.
If I install only the camera and lens (3-4 kg) to do it. Nevertheless, you have to attract quite firmly the adjusting screw.
