Perfect processing, no locking, no wobbling. Really fun with it. If you want to the quick release plate (I had to buy extra) released from the ball head, so you have two handles press (a smaller and a larger). The small grip is a safety handle. This prevents the camera suddenly falls from the tripod. Downside is perhaps that the ball head is quite heavy. Especially if you carry Tripod with Ball Head for a long time. Despite strong buy recommendation.
