Got the ball head as usual on the way from Amazon very quickly and am very pleased with the quality. Processing and price are right. The head can be firmly fixed with little effort and the mobility is good. However, caution is always advised when releasing the lever! Always hold the camera and then release the lever for the new position, and then tighten it. The quick-release plate with safety do their service also good. I use the ball head with the black aluminum side arm of Delamax and it fits both perfectly well together. A projector plate then takes still on my Apple MacBook Pro and I can both use the tripod well.
