ULANZI U-80L Ball Head for 1/4" Tripod - 360 Rotating Panoramic Camera Mount With Arca Quick Release Plate & Cold Shoe for DSLR, Camcorder, Monopod, Slider

nice small/compact little ball head for steady camera work. I got this to put on my monopod so I could attach my Pentax Kx and have a little more stability for some walkabout shots. Great value for the price and well built. Looks nice on my monopod, is very smooth to operate and functions as advertised.

This was an upgrade from a very basic tripod head. It provides a sturdy mount for various attachments and is easy to use. A few turns of the plate knob and then poke the QR button on the opposite side, and your attachment comes off or drops in.My only complaint is the knob for the handle adjustment. It is opposite the forward/back knob and looks just like that knob. Often, I find myself trying to use the handle knob to adjust the forward/back pitch. Perhaps a smaller knob would help.

I purchased x2 of these, after testing and enjoying it. For my setup and needs, it is quite easy to balance and very simple to use. I had a plastic cover fall off one of the knobs, which sucks, but besides that, it is a solid video head for basic use. Don’t expect top notch pans with this, it’s smooth, but not pro level smooth.

I’m actually using this for a large spotting scope. The weight of the scope is well within the design parameters of the pan-tilt device. It’s easy to use, and for the price, better quality than I was expecting. I would buy it again.

Awesome pan head for the price! I bought this for my spotting scope and it’s absolutely wonderful. Super lightweight, very fluid panning and tilting. It does have a spring like some people have noted but for my spotting scope it really helps a ton! It keeps the scope level so I don’t have to worry as much about my scope sliding forward or back because I forgot to lock down the tension, which use to happen to me with my old promaster pan head. The locks are easy to use and plenty tight to keep my 3.5 lb. spotter from moving. I really like the quick release arca attachment, especially that you can lock that down once you get the optic attached. There’s much less movement in this head than in my old promaster head with the tension screw on the arca mount. I bought for a mountain hunt this November so I have no idea how well it will hold up in the cold and rough terrain. The knobs to lock pan and tilt are plastic so that could be an issue I guess. But for the price I would say this is an exceptional pan and tilt head. Exactly what I was looking for.

The item was heavy for what I needed. You could look at that as a positive if weight is not an issue. I was also not happy with the style of quick release. It was more complicated than most and would not be quick to me. I returned it for these reasons.It seems to be be well built and had a smooth action. I thought the price was fair.

I used this to replace a broken pan head on an old tripod. It was easy to install on a 1/4-20 stud, seems sturdy enough, adjusts easily, and holds the scope firmly. I’d buy another if I needed one.

This is a wonder little ballhead. But I bought this for the quick release plate. I found it to be a little too long too fit in RRS quick release clamp and the Benro FS30. I had to file the edge to make the plate fit.I shouldn’t blame this plate entirely as all these quick release have tight tolerance. That’s why some adjustments screw.
