    Feels Really Solid
    I use this tripod head with the Elgato Ring Light because the included ballhead is really terrible. I actually already had a Gorillapod laying around so I was able to just pull the head off that and order another one for later. This ballhead is fantastic. The actual ball and cradle are made out of this really nice metal. The plate that connects to the camera and the piece that it sits in are plastic, bit its not a huge deal though because that feels solid as well. The tripod head has no problem holding my camera in place and it doesn't move around at all. This has one of the best knobs I've ever felt. I know that seems dirty but for real the knob is super smooth and fluid yet it tightens the whole thing up nicely. The inclusion of the level on the camera plate is also a nice touch because it helps me get my camera nice and even when I want to mount it. I have 2 of these now and they both work fantastic for me.
