Easy to use and can hold a DSLR (Nikon D90 with a macro lens) horizontally no problem.

For my purposes, the 36mm tripod head is very stable. My previous tripod head worked well with a load capacity of 8 kg, but it stumbled when I strapped on my 150-500, which is now held much more stably. The total weight with camera is “only” just under 2.2 kg and thus remains far below the maximum allowable of the previous one, but with the 36 mm tripod head, you have significantly more reserves with a maximum load of 16 kg, which significantly increases stability. Especially with very distant subjects, such as the moon, it is much easier to get the subject onto the sensor.

Great quality, simple effective design.

Very satisfied with the purchase.

Good workmanship and meets all requirements and functions.

Ideal on my monopod

I was looking for a ball joint for my tripod. I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this product. It is very sturdy, stylish and durable. The ball joint lock is perfect even with a heavy SLR and a telephoto lens mounted. I did not know the brand and I recommend it.

I immediately bought the 36mm version to be on the safe side (although this is greatly exaggerated according to the article information).
My assembled system weighs between 1.5 and 2 kg and it holds snugly. Even in inclined positions with a large macro lens.
However, I definitely doubt that the head can even hold a weight of 16 kg approximately firmly and stably!
(Giving figures of 16 kg is simply ridiculous - I would like to know what kind of cameras and lenses these are that weigh such a weight in the first place...)

The adjustment is smooth and smooth - both in the panoramic axle and at the ball joint. With the locking screw, the ball joint can be adjusted more firmly and smoothly.
However, to adjust the panoramic axle, the corresponding locking screw must be fully opened - 2 full turns - otherwise it scratches or snags in places and that cannot be good for the material/ durability.
The round leveling dragonfly on the record holder is definitely useful and better than what I've had in my hands before.
However, it is better to use the camera's own leveling or other options, especially when taking panoramic shots.

The workmanship is rock solid.
If there are long-term problems, I will adjust my rating.
After taking around 2000 macro shots so far with extensive adjustment of the head, everything still works as it did at the beginning.

I'm really happy with the part. It is worlds better than my previous, jerky 3-axis tripod head from Walimex.
The K&F here is absolutely worth the money!

Very satisfied with this ball joint.
It easily supports a 5D3 with its 70/200 2.8 IS usm III.

... so far solved with flying colors for APSC cameras - star photography, long exposures (up to >16 min), wind at sea. Deep and “hanging” images, portrait mode, shots in adverse weather (ball head does not slip through).
The axis of the adjustment lever could be longer or extendable so that the lever does not easily blend with the camera. The
basis is a Manfrotto stand (155).
