“For years I have used pan-tilt heads. Once I found Acratech, I completely switched over. A great company that makes extremely high-quality products. I don’t know how I worked without for so long. Invest in the lever clamp model—it is the ultimate in ensuring your camera remains locked into the ball head.”

“RRS’s top-of-the-line model, and one of the very best ball heads ever made. It’s smooth, it never locks up, it never creeps, it just always does exactly what it was built to do.”
“Lightweight but more than sturdy enough to support anything I own. Note that it doesn’t have a center post; I never use one anyway, as extending a center post even a few inches wreaks havoc on stability.”
