The extra space gives it a little room to pack in some extra features. Three separate spirit levels &#8211; two horizontal and one vertical &#8211; ensure accurate levelling of the camera. A single locking lever controls movement on all three axes, and once the wingnut-type thumb dial is unlocked the head can tilt and pan with ease.<\/p>\n<p>Giottos&#8217; 652 plate comes on the top of the head, which has a spring-loaded, quick-release function for speedy access to the camera. The head attaches via a standard tripod thread, is solidly built and has a spring-loaded mechanism that returns the front dial to its optimal position. The Giottos head can support up to 4kg of kit.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/01\/Cullman_Cross_CB2.7.jpg\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"5\" \/>Cullman Cross CB2.7<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> Around \u00a322<br \/>\n<strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cullmann.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.cullmann.de<\/a><\/p>\n<p>One important thing to note about the Cullman Cross CB2.7 is that it does not fit a standard tripod thread. It is designed to fit a 1\/4-20 UNC screw thread, and does not come with a standard adapter. If this suits your needs, it&#8217;s a great little product. It has one particularly interesting feature that&#8217;s unique among these ball heads &#8211; the removable top-plate comes with a hotshoe on its reverse side. This lends the Cross CB2.7 a degree of versatility, allowing it to be used not only as a camera stand but also as a stand for accessories such as an external flash.<\/p>\n<p>Pleasingly, it functions very well in its primary capacity as a camera support. The movement is nice and fluid, and the rubberised thumb grip is easy to loosen and tighten. Be aware that it only supports a load of 1kg, so it should not be used with heavier kit.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/01\/Manfrotto_492_Micro_Ball_Head.jpg\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"5\" \/>Manfrotto 492 Micro Ball Head<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> Around \u00a329<br \/>\n<strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.manfrotto.co.uk\/492-micro-ball-head\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.manfrotto.co.uk\/492-micro-ball-head <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Exceptional build quality is offered by the Manfrotto 492 Micro Ball Head, with the housing of the socket joint made from strong die-cast aluminium and the rest of the head constructed from a combination of aluminium and tough polycarbonate. At 140g, the Manfrotto ball head is the heaviest on test not to feature a quick-release plate. However, if build quality is a priority, the extra weight is a worthy trade-off. In the size department, the Manfrotto 492 sits comfortable in the middle of all those on test &#8211; it is a similar size to the Velbon head.<\/p>\n<p>A noteworthy feature of the Manfrotto 492 is the inclusion of a 1\/4-20 UNC adapter, which screws inside the 3\/8-16in tripod mounting thread so it can accept both.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/01\/3_Legged_Thing_Airhed_0.jpg\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"5\" \/>3 Legged Thing AirHed 0<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> \u00a3120<br \/>\n<strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.3leggedthing.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.3leggedthing.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The first thing that strikes you about the 3 Legged Thing AirHed 0 is the design, and especially the colour scheme, which makes you think a 12-year-old child somewhere won a competition. The second is the spec, which is, by contrast, seriously impressive. The AirHed 0 can support a whopping 30kg of kit despite its relatively slender dimensions of 81x44x32mm, which is amply more than any photo enthusiast is going to need.<\/p>\n<p>The fluidity of the head is exceptional, and the rubberised thumb grips &#8211; two for securing the ball itself, one for the Arca-Swiss-style plate &#8211; loosen and tighten with beautiful smoothness. A horizontal bubble level just below the plate helps you keep your horizons straight, and rubber grips on the top provide a little extra traction between plate and camera. It&#8217;s a truly excellent head that just about justifies its high asking price.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/01\/Gitzo_G0077_Centre_Ball_Head.jpg\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"5\" \/>Gitzo G0077 Centre Ball Head<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> Around \u00a339<br \/>\n<strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gitzo.co.uk\/centre-ball-head\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.gitzo.co.uk\/centre-ball-head<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Gitzo G0077 Centre Ball Head has an aluminium construction and, at a weight of just 80g it is the lightest on test. It&#8217;s also the smallest &#8211; the main body of the ball head is no bigger than a 10p coin excluding the protrusion of the thumbscrew.<\/p>\n<p>The circular plate on top has a standard screw thread on which to mount the camera. This ball head can comfortably hold most DSLRs as it&#8217;s rated to a maximum payload of 2kg. The thumbscrew for adjusting the tension is well placed and can be repositioned to prevent it from interfering with either the camera body or the tripod\/monopod. In a quarter of a turn, the head can be tensioned from its loosest to its tightest.<\/p>\n<h2>Velbon QHD-33Q<\/h2>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/01\/Velbon_QHD_33Q.jpg\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"5\" \/><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> Around \u00a334<br \/>\n<strong>Website: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.velbon.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.velbon.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of all the ball heads with quick-release plates, the Velbon QHD-33Q is the smallest in size and the lightest at just 150g. The QB-3B quick-release plate comes included. This is a very small plate measuring just 31x43mm. It locks in place with an easy-to-use locking knob and is secured further by a pair of interlocking teeth featured on both the plate and the plate&#8217;s housing. Like the Gitzo head, the thumb screw used to tension the ball head only takes a quarter of a turn, which makes it very quick and easy to position. However, the Velbon is rated to just 0.6kg, so it is more suited to small DSLRs or compact system cameras.<\/p>\n<p>Both the camera-mount thread size and the tripod-mount thread size are 1\/4-20 UNC screw thread, so an adapter may need to be bought separately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From lightweight DSLRs to smartphones, more and more imaging devices can get by on smaller supports.
