Customer Reviews

Excellent Quality Ballhead
The Bogen-Manfrotto Maxi Ball Herad is first rate! It's build is rock solid, as is it's stability when used with a good quality tripod. I use it with my Canon 20D and a Canon 100-400mm lens. It is as steady as they come. There are less expensive heads out there, but you get what you pay for. Definitely recommended!
