More need not be on the monopod

The ball head on the monopod is already a good and stable connection. You can entrust the camera including Tele him confidently. If it can be adjusted well damped and lock properly with little hand strength - so much the better. But: you need the degrees of freedom of a ball head on the monopod not really. Here, the positioning in the tripod axis is actually no use any fittings. Proceeding from the premise that a tilt / rotation is desired around the optical axis only in exceptional cases, the tilt about the transverse axis is interesting, and in this one Neiger is limited, and the Monpod Panhead DJ-90 from Benro.

It comes beautifully packaged with clearly illustrated instructions in Chinese and English. It is delivered with a small pendant with a picture label and the technical data: 80 mm Height (with quick release plate, Arca Swiss compatible) Weight without quick release plate 190g, load capacity 2.5 kg. The quick release plate is large (38 x 60 mm) and provided with two security screws, three slots and the camera screw. In a bag, there is a hex key for the camera screw and the threaded adapter from 3/8 "to 1/4". The Panhead has only two controls: the screw of the clamp for the AC drive and a traction wheel for the friction of the Panhead. Everything looks top quality. The surface of the light metal elements is matt black anodized.

Under load the Neiger runs pleasantly subdued on request and is quickly and securely locked again. The tested configuration consists of a Sony Alpha 77II with the Tamron 2.8 / 70-200 mg. On the monopod, I often only half undressed and support in a belt pouch, everything feels much lighter than before with the 500-g-ball head. The control of a single tilt axis simplifies photographing immensely. Everything goes much faster than formerly the "Eierei" with the ball head. And at the end of its force of Neiger has not yet been reached with the setting described. Everything works perfectly and leaves the impression of precision and reliability.

The first and second impression: quality products. Recommended!
