Second copy is top

I have the Sirui K-20X tried one day. I was looking for a light ball head with friction and Arca-compatible quick-change adapter, in which I can my FEISOL 3342 fold completely space-saving. First of all: it's really easy with 400g, and folding down on 3342 also works.

Positives:

- Weight
- Compactness (180 ° umklappkompatibel to FEISOL 3342)
- Clamping force
- Arca-terminal with fuse
- Design
- External processing, anodizing
- Friction (good copies of Markins)
- Supplied with neoprene pouch and removable disk
- Dragonflies mE quite accurate and easy to read

Negatives:

- Breakaway torque when the ball was blocked quite high for longer than 20s
- Stinking grease comes out of the Schraubachsen and the scale of the locking screw
- Locking screw shows some rotational play when they are dissolved and immediately finds

After failures at the Panorama function (hakelte this, scratching) was exchanged and my copy is now working properly. For the price, the performance of the head can be described only as an exceptionally well. Therefore, 5 star and my buy recommendation.

Upon receipt, always check the panorama function to easily turn their locking screw, and then rotate the head. Should go smoothly and do not scratch!

Update as of 17/01/2013:

The temporarily leaving the threads fat can be removed with some brake cleaner quite well on a cloth, currently also comes to nothing. Only the scale of friction should not be too much ran with brake cleaner to which is attached only to the seemingly tough grease ...

And the breakaway I can reduce for car paint by something hard wax. Just something to apply on the ball and the head to make a difference before the hard wax has dried. Ensures at my now for months for a much smoother move with active friction (no guarantee!)
