The SBH-100 comes in a small package with a previously installed removable disk, an additional removable disk, a manual and a small tool therefore. The tool itself is used for tightening the screw of the tripod thread.
What the buyer gets? A robust device that quite easily comes along with almost 450 grams. Three fixing screws enable the adjustment of the head or of the installed device. The unit can be rotated horizontally (bottom locking screw), so that for example panoramic images are no problem. For this purpose, the lower ring offers a degree display that may be used for orientation of the device. Furthermore, the ball head can also be rotated horizontally through 360 degrees. An inclination of about 45 degrees is also possible - at the latest on the use of the head then you should look at the spirit level to align. At one point, the mounting of the head is further recessed so that the head or the arm holding the device, can be rotated by 90 degrees. So upright shots are possible for example. Through the ball joint but the unit is still rotatable so that a camera can record the ground and the sky, for example, without changing the arm position. The center screw determines the cone joint, so that nothing moves more here. So little power is spend for really stable locking the screw.
At the head itself are located next to the water levels and the slot for the removable disk / slide. This can be tightened by the top screw, so here is no longer a game. The exchange plate can (after the top screw was solved by pressing an eject button be pulled. The button is designed in orange color, so even in low light, the button can be found. But walking alone even by the form, so that the color is not really matter.
The drive then appears on the also the eject button located by the side, pushed towards the holder. Here I feel the change system of GH-100 much better, which is engaged from above and can be solved by a lever. Unfortunately, distinguish between these heads the removable disks, so these must also be changed when changing the head / tripod and you just can not even give back and forth change.
The plate is fixed with a tripod screw on the camera. Unfortunately, this caused provided by the flat design of the removable disk, with a head of a screw, so here always auxiliary equipment (supplied tool, coin screwdrivers, etc.) must be used. When GH-100 is possible by a fortified device without aids.
Reviewed you the function of this head, like much better with the GH-100, because the positioning is much more flexible than the SBH-100 carried out. Even the removable disk system when GH-100 is attractive. Only the compact design and the water levels are achieved at SBH-100 better.
In addition, the head has two spirit levels for leveling of the mounted equipment. These Levels are attached to the support of the release plate so that the device can be aligned.
