Pro Line Dolica AX620B100 Proline Aluminum

$49.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it is hard to find a mimi ball head for other tripods that costs less than this entire tripod system.
from www.amazon.com
i looked around my tripod and saw a octagon shaped screw on the ball head, i am guessing it's for removing the ball head if a replacement is needed.
from www.amazon.com
this is my first ball head tripod and i bought as a "starter" tripod so i could learn how to use one and if i liked it.
from www.amazon.com
dolica ax620b100 62-inch proline tripod and ball head is a very light weight and sturdy enough tripod for small to prosumer dslr.
from www.amazon.com
the ball head is a definite plus (other tripods include it for a much higher price).

Manfrotto 190XPROB PRO ALU

$148.00 Est. at Amazon

from "Andy", www1.wolfcamera.com
along with the manfrotto 484rc2 ball head it is very stable and so easy to use.
from "Perfesser Bear", www.adorama.com
i purchased the bogen/manfrotto 190xprob tripod legs in november, 2007, along with the 804rc2 3-way pan/tilt head and the 486rc2 compact ball head.i became used to heavy, bulky tripods in the 1970s
from www.amazon.com
i paired these tripod legs with a bogen-manfrotto 486rc2 head, which goes well with it.
from www.amazon.com
i will probably buy another tripod for traveling, as this one combined with a good head, will weigh in on you on long trips.
from www.amazon.com
got this tripod together with the manfroto midi ball head for my pentax k20d and related gear.

Slik PRO 700 DX

$120.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bhphotovideo.com
i am 5'10" and it can go way over my head (and anywhere in between.) so, even professional basketball players can use this tripod.
from www.bhphotovideo.com
in addition it will support a lot of weight which is very useful for macro work as your head can be set up anyway you want and there wont be any movement after all.
from www.adorama.com
i looked for a long time to find a non peice of junk for a long time for a good price and ran across this, this is an awsome deal for a nice very very very stable tri-pod the head is even very nice
from "Gunzorro", www.bhphotovideo.com
even the full assembly with head is less than [$].
from "Photo Addict", www.bhphotovideo.com
mine had a flaw that corrected itself: i could not get the quick release plate out of the head!

Manfrotto 190XPROB 3 Section Aluminum Pro

$300.00 Est. at Amazon

from "fstopmike", www.bhphotovideo.com
the head works flawlessly as well.
from www.amazon.com
i purchased this tripod with the 322rc2 grip ball head and it mates up perfectly.
from www.amazon.com
make sure you use a lightweight head on this to get the most of it, something like a 460mg or 486rc2 ball head would work nicely.
from www.amazon.com
i use the manfrotto 190cxpro3 with the manfrotto 322rc2 grip action head, i shoot 90% on a tripod.
from www.amazon.com
i wanted a lighter tripod that would be easier to travel with but with the rigidity of my old tripods and the convenience of quick lock leg adjusters and with a quick action adjustable ball head.

Canon 100 Monopod

$34.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bhphotovideo.com
it is very sturdy, easy to use, great height adjustments, and the ball head lets me get creative angles.
from www.adorama.com
now enjoy your monopod.a ball head is a must for adjustability.
from www.adorama.com
the ball head allows you to angle your camera how ever you need to in order to get the shot.
from www.amazon.com
strong and rigid, easy to control on the head so that you can have it loose for free movement but tight enough that the camera doesn't flop over.
from www.amazon.com
if you want the heavy lense supported turn the swivel head so that the camera rests on the side bracket of the ball head for support, it works fairly well.

785 Modo

$60.00 Est. at Amazon

from "A photo traveler", www.adorama.com
the middle shaft is threaded a few inches below the head which made its transport on the airplane in my backpack even easier.
from www.amazon.com
the ball head is great and the grip easy to use and set -- i actually like it better than my more serious heavy tripod.
from www.amazon.com
i wish that it had come with a zippered carryall of some sort - and some metal in the head would have made it more sturdy.
from www.amazon.com
1.- i have to say that i'm not crazy about the head (ball type) that comes with the tripod.
from www.amazon.com
this tripod has a single head release lever that releases all 3 axes at the same time.

Bogen Imaging 676B Monopod

$30.00 Est. at Amazon

from "Paulie", www.bhphotovideo.com
i've attached the manfrotto 3229 head with the rc2 quick release plate, and have one great setup.
from "Nile", www.ritzcamera.com
strong construction, sections lock securely, carries camera on top (with added head), easy to collapse and carry in luggage.
from www.amazon.com
the flip type locks seem secure and it doesn't wobble at all.( my largest kit weighs about 5 lbs, i have used it with that and a 2 lb ball head with no problem),the padded hand rest is comfortable,
from www.amazon.com
it's very light weight even with the head on and will also pack easily.
from www.amazon.com
i added a quick release, tilting head to complete the set-up so that i can take landscape (horizontal) pictures as well as portrait (vertical).

Manfrotto 680B Monopod 4-SCTN

$56.00 Est. at Amazon

from "Rick of wild image", www.adorama.com
with bogen ball head it makes a rigid single instrument for camera and even long lenses that serves as a hiking pole w/ camera.
from www.amazon.com
i still need to lower my head ever so slightly when using it, which in the long run gests a little exhausting (i'm 6'2 by the by).
from www.amazon.com
you really have to add the tilt head/quick release to it (can't remember the model, but it's about $25) and then it's really perfect.
from www.amazon.com
don't forget you will probably want a ball head or some other head with a rapid connect release system.
from www.amazon.com
this isn't an issue if you're screwing the monopod directly into the camera/lens mount, but is if you're planning to mount a ball or tilt head on top.

from www.amazon.com
the tripod head is very simple but with great build quality and is easily replaceable for a more sophisticated ball head or gimball head.

i have purchased this product with the bogen-manfrotto 484rc2 mini ball head.

this model, the slr-zoom gorillapod, is designed without a quick release mount so you can use your own tripod head.
from www.amazon.com
but you really want a tripod head to use on the gorillapod - makes your life a lot easier.

VELBON MONOPOD

from A Customer from Minneapolis, MN, clickfrom.buy.com
the ball head is reasonably resure, although it looks kind of skinny compared to the rest of the monopod.
from Bruce from Saratoga, Ca, clickfrom.buy.com
after receiving this velbon rup-43 monopod with ball head i was pleasantly surprised at how solid and sturdy it was.
from www.amazon.com
i was glad i chose this unit with the tilting head, it is far strong enough for my canon s3, and should handle something 2 or 3 times heavier with ease.
from www.amazon.com
this monopod did not disappoint me, i find that it is well built, very sturdy and the ball head works very well.
from www.amazon.com

to increase it's utility by a considerable amount be sure to get a swival head for the top of the pod, this will allow you to move the camera along the four axis (e,w,n,s)as well as go horizontal or

i have purchased this product with the bogen-manfrotto 484rc2 mini ball head.
from www.amazon.com
it would be great if the 3 attachment clips could be stowed with the unit, like maybe under the head, so they dont get lost.
from www.amazon.com
it attaches to whatever it's holding at it's head with a slide-in clip that attaches then locks to several different pieces.

just a bummer if you don't have something to set/wrap it on to if you are trying to take a head on shot.

if you're going to travel with this tripod, be aware that it's too tall to fit into your carry-on luggage (even with the head removed).
from www.amazon.com
i use it with a manfrotto 322rc2 head, canon 40d and 70-200 f4l lens (with tripod ring) and there are no balance or stability issues.
from www.amazon.com
i use it with the manfrotto 488rc2 midi ball head and rc2 rapid connect system (3157n)and the manfrotto tripod bag 80cm which serves as excellent protection and an easy means of carry.
from www.amazon.com
i also purchased a manfrotto 322rc ball head for the tripod and the combination is super.
from www.amazon.com
be aware that the center post is not removable such that you can attach a ball head to the tripod itself; the ball head must be attached to only the center post.
