Anyone using a Beike BK03 ball head?
Have had one for a few years and a nice unit. The Swiss Arca quick release plates are readily available on ebay for additional camera bodies.
No problems in using. However, the main securing rubber knob requires a couple of turns to secure the ball head really tight.
Well worth the money and it appears to be solidly built.

Absolutely no complaints.

LBA is good for you, a Lens a day helps you work, rest and play.
Thanks all

Not had a single problem with any of them - all serving me well, which is more than I can say for the crap red snapper ballhead.

If the reviews are good and people first hand say they're good then why spend any more?

Qualified technical reviews using scientific equipment to measure vibrations etc. are much more reliable.
I'm a bit pissed off that my £200+ Novoflex Magic Ball 50 isn't rated as highly as 3 ball heads costing below £100 I also have the Novoflex 5 which isn't included, but probably gets beaten as well.
The Tiltall BH-07 (90%) even beats mega expensive stuff like Arca Swiss No wonder they used to be marketed by Leica

Less than £16 on eBay, 8kg load capacity and arca swiss compatible quick release.
Just wondering if anyone has first hand experience using them?
