Received quickly and in perfect condition. Very correct aspect, goes very well with a tripod and a ball SLIK SBH 100. Attaches perfectly on this ball (I also think of many others). Perfectly maintains a Nikon D7000 + 70-300 and other lighter course. Another speaker spoke of play between the pad and the base, this is not the case in my case, we must see to use. The handling suits me quite correctly and facilitates the establishment and rapid lifting of the device. There is a security that prevents the handle from opening inadvertently guaranteeing fixing therefore the risk of falling equipment. I was pleasantly surprised, because the low price left me thinking receive an item made in China with mediocre components and sloppy finishing. I recommend purchasing it for only 15, with Amazon, the risk is not on the side of the buyer. I put 3 stars, which means "like" at Amazon, 4 and 5 star in my opinion being reserved for the high end. The assessors should also consider this correspondence because one can notice that the 5 stars are awarded to indiscriminately (so to reassure having made a good buy for some and for others chauvinism). I left 2 times influenced by the enthusiasm of buyers chauvinists or incompetent when buying 2 Nikkor lenses that for me, experienced and amateur rather require, deserved only 3 or 4 stars. If that putting to high-end optics which have a permanent opening 2.8. A word to salvation.
