The manipulation of patella loosening tightening is no problem, the pan function is a major reason for my purchase given the quality of clamping the ball I think my 5D III with the cannon 70-200 F / 2.8 will cause no problem. which is not the case with my joystick handle Manfrotto 322RC2 Manfrotto joystick Magnesium Ball Head with Quick Release Plate handle lock lever Maximum load: 5kg which is a fair bit on maintaining the position in this context of use, japprécie strongly against the quick release system is a must. My partner has the ball Vanguard BBH-200 Ball Head for Camera Black despite the quality of the ball I prefer the Manfrotto with its quick release plate. I have done so far as tests of uses I soon testerais in real conditions for photos of lavender.
I revise my review: After several field trials, big disappointment: on the ball no complaints, the mounting foot problem that causes it is not stable it the game. why have changed a system that was perfect ball on the joystick?
3 rd Revision Comment: the problem is the striker who was unscrewed (on a new product that is not serious!) all being spring loaded, it is not seen at first glance Wave, and which is why I'm not made me account immediately and that my first attempts were inconclusive. I took a scare during my last night shots noting the games in the shoe with the above device !. In the end you have to find the key that fits btr to tighten the strike ... and above all keep it in his camera bag.
