Manfrotto X-Pro Rótula MHXPRO-BHQ2

Bought this ball head almost two years ago to replace a Manfrotto 804 pan head. No regrets. This is a solid piece of equipment that is very easy to use. Quality is great. You can get it with the either the Q2(200pl) or Arca Swiss lock. I have the Q2 which I find more secure and quicker to use especially if you are using an L bracket on your camera.

Very well made. Works great and is smooth to operate and has great locking system.

I had a grip ball head and the arthritis in my hands got to where I couldn't squeeze it. This XPRO is just what I need. It works just like it was advertised.

I am used to a three-way head. This is much quicker to use than that. Very happy with it so far.

I am using this ball head for astrophotography, between the Sky-Watcher Mini and my EOS RP. It needs to be rock solid for the long exposures in astrophotography, and really it is. Highly recommended. Thank you B&H
