Excellent value Arca-Swiss alternative
Excellent value - fits perfectly with ARCA-Swiss plates.
Adjustable tension on all axes, able to set up perfect amount of force to hold a camera in place while still allowing for movement in all directions.
The horizontal movement around the bottom plane is super smooth however there is some very slight sense of friction / very slight roughness in the motion of the ball mechanism - but it's very minor.
Dual sized mounting screws pretty much accommodate all tripod / leg mount options.
If there was a downside the construction is very solid which also means at 382 grams (13 1/2 ounces) it's slightly heavy for an ultra light combination with carbon fiber legs - otherwise a super solid option - very happy
