Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)1. I've used various balheads (Foba, Manfrotto, Slik, Giotto, Cullman, Gizto etc... ) in my life and this is the best one thus far.
2. Pros:
* Lightweight (for the amount of load it can handle)
* Workmanship: top quality.
* The all rubber knobs are an improvement over the original ultimate ballhead.
* The ballhead itself clamps down completely; zero creep.
* This head has everything you need: tension knob, pan rotation, gimbal feature.
* Perhaps one of the most unique things about this head is the elegant and simple design. Unlike other ballheads, this one will never get grimy / dirty/ messed up in and around the head.
3. I would think that the only significant competitor to this head would be the really right stuff medium sized ballhead (slightly more expensive and with a lower load capacity). i haven't used this really right stuff head, but as someone who often photographs in extreme enviornments, I would think that the more simple / elegant design of the acratech product would hold up better in such conditions. furthermore, i wasn't impressed with some other RRS products / heads in the past.
4. Bottomline: this acratech head is one that one could use for a lifetime. the highest of recommendations.
