This mini head of Hama is not recommended. Even when properly tightened locking wheel of the head is not capable of holding a 300 gr. Lightweight compact camera stable. Dei camera falls at the slightest touch to the front. In addition, the head and ease of hooks can be no question. For this performance, the price is outrageous. I'm used to from Hama another, especially better quality products. I now have a comparable in size ball head from another manufacturer bought that cost less than half. This head delivers what it promises. Leichtgänig and the camera stops in any position without the one to have to tighten the clamping screw with excessive force.
