Small but works well 4 by .. Indiana Jones ()
I was looking for a small ball head for my Sigma DP1. I played with several ballheads in a local store, and picked this one for ~$35.00. It was actually the cheapest ball in the store. Mounted it on a Gitzo 1127, I got a most compact tripod set. It has been two years now. I have used it extensively for Sigma SD14 with 150mm Macro lense, Hasselblad with a very heavy 50mm f2.8 lense, and now a Sony A850 with 24-70mm f2.8 lense. No problem. It holds A850+24-70 off axis in arbitrary angle.

The reason I take away one star is because the locking knob (level) may contact the quick release clamp when the camera is in vertical position. I shaved the knonb slightly shorter to resolved this problem.

Good, but a little flimsy 4 by .. Heng Hu ()
The ball head works really well. Although rated for 4 pounds, I have mounted my camera fully loaded 10 pounds++ and it seems to hold. Only fault I find is that the release is kind of flimsy but nothing that I can't deal with. For it's price, still a great product.

Great with one minor flaw 4 by .. Bedazzeled (Chicago, IL)
I've used this tripod head for about a month now. It works great, exactly as you would expect. The one minor flaw is if you do not use the single middle extension on your tripod the resistance lever on the side will hit the tripod base. It a bit annoying but you can usually find a way around it quickly. I believe this is caused by the fact that this head is so small and relatively short. And for the price you can't beat it!

The Little Head that Could 4 by .. Charles R. Bell Jr. (Hickory, NC, US)
I got this ballhead to go with my new Induro Carbon Fiber Tripod since I was striving to keep the weight of my tripod set-up as low as possible. I was pretty sure that this head would handle a heavy DSLR and long lens. It does very, very well supporting my 5D2 and 70-200 f4L IS, even with an extension tube and teleconverter attached. It's easy to operate, locks up nice and tight, has no wiggle or creep and even comes with a quick disconnect plate. A real deal.

El complemento 4 by .. Mazo (Medellin)
Compré un trípode Induro, pero me llevé una sorpresa cuando vi que no traía una cabeza móvil. Así que tuve que comprar esta cabeza. En términos generales trabaja bien. Como todo lo Induro funcionan bien (aunque el trípode me llegó con fallas y no lo pude devolver porque vivo en Colombia). No es la técnología que más me gusta, pero funciona bien y para usar el trípode es indispensable. Así que si va a comprar un trípode primer fíjese si tiene cabeza móvil o no, porque deberá destinar una buena parte a complementar su compra luego.
