You can feel the quality and finish of this ball head. Comes with 2 quick plates which is appreciable. They get stuck with double protection (clamp + clipping) The ball moves very smoothly and locks efficiently and without movement for perfect framing. Only default screwing fast plates on the camera requires a tool or a coin as already said by other buyers while competitors offer integrated folding system (-1 star). Good once the plate under your device is not changed every 5 minutes anyway.
