I bought this head to replace a worn out Joby with the larger cups. I use it for action cameras and small micro 4/3 camera with wide angle lens. usually as a B camera on a wild life shoot either on land or in a river. It fitted perfectly on the tripod and functions very well to aim the camera, focus and let it record without sagging due to the weight. In fact it gives me more options that the original ball head that came with the Joby tripod AND I keep the versatility of the cups of the tripod that allows easy adaption and mounting on all kind of surfaces. Keep in mind that you can use this with smaller camera setups only as it is not designed for large camera systems

To replace my tripod head that was starting to no longer hold the weight of my kodak she is really tough!!
The plate is compatible with my old quick release fak it's perfect!
I advise to check the tightening of the plate on the ball joint because I had to put back a tork to stabilize it well (the Allen key is provided!)

Arrived ahead of schedule and in excellent condition. The item looks solid, a good construction. Exactly the size I wanted. I tested it for a while on my manfrotto monopod with my 70-200 zoom lens and worked fine. I will come back with an update after my safari trip in Kenya where I will be using it for a longer period of time.
