 Sunpack medium ball head December 23, 2007
Jan Lupinek
It's rare for ball heads without quick-release plates to be designed to allow the camera body to be pulled down directly against the platform as opposed to being pulled down indirectly by being rotated across the platform. I've scraped off the cork surface of other ball heads with the usual design. The capacity of this head is 6.5 lbs. I'm afraid of stripping the threads by over-tightening the lever, so it's not rock solid with my 400 mm. lens. I have a Stroboframe head that's only slightly heavier but is stable with much more weight: it may be because its ball is aluminum and the Sunpak's is plastic; however, I prefer the Sunpak because of the platform feature that I described above.
 Better than I expected January 25, 2007

To tell the truth, I was a little worried when I ordered this item. With some other ball heads selling for $100 or more, how good could a $25 one be?
Well, not too bad, actually. It's larger and more rugged than I expected (about 3" high), which is important because I want to use it with a fairly expensive and heavy Nikon DSLR. It rotates easily in all dimensions and locks securely with a 1/8 turn of its decent-sized handle, and it doesn't slip. Unfortunately, there's no weight rating given, but it handles my Nikon with no problem.
True, it's Chinese and generic (the "Sunpak" name was just a plastic label that was peeling off), and the finish isn't as smooth as a $100 unit, but it works well. However, I'd be afraid to use some of the smaller, cheaper ball heads, except with a very light point-and-shoot camera.
