This ball head can do what to can specify many other ball heads. When moving the ball no breakaway torque can be felt. Thus, one can without jerking, thus having to swing back and forth, aim at the object you want quickly and reliably. And that at a set friction. The quick-change mechanism funktiniert also fast and reliable. The positioning of the controls is reasonable and well thought out. There are no levers and knobs, so as you can see it in many other ball heads. Although there are nice-looking quick-change systems, but hardly a better functioning. This ball head has been manufactured for use and not for the showcase. It's fun to work with. I could compare this with the head of K20X Sirui. Sirui is beautiful and Manfrotto works.
