I bought the tripod head for my small table tripod. I own a Canon EOS 500D with a Tamron SP AF 17/50, etc., a 560 Yongnuo flash and a 70/200 f / 4 with tripod collar. For all combinations of the camera is firmly fixed on the head and provides steady images. The friction can be metered fine for this price range and find the ball head without much force.
For ease of equipment or as a "second head" an absolute buy recommendation.
Many Greetings
