Long story short... my old Ball Head died on me during CNY when taking family group photo... the head just can't be tighten anymore. Hunt around the internet like ebay and the usual places for a cheap and light Ball Head as replacement... also tried looking at branded version around S'pore... too expensive. Ended up with this little thing I got from a website in HK.... which is a knockoff from a China Brand tripod maker (which shall not be named)... which itself is a knockoff from a Italian Brand tripod maker....
Photo taken with Handphone...
Holding my most heavy setup... EOS 7D with Battery Grip + EF 100-400mm L f4.5-5.6 + Speedlite 580EX MkII (with Batteries) = 3.5kg (+/-)
Safety lock... prevent base plate from falling off even if clap is not tighten...
The brand/Model... RUBY 005H - RUBY 005H Aluminium Magnesium Alloy Tripod Ball Head w/ Quick Release Plate Adapter - Black
For around $28 USD (including shipping)... anyone else willing to try ?? :bsmilie:
Anyone else also using non traditional brand Ball Head that is cheap and get the job done... please share...
