Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Manfrotto 484 Mini Ball Head
Customer Review: Small, but perfect for what it is
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm using this on a Gorillapod Focus or SLR-Zoom model. I've got arca-swiss plates on all my cameras (even G11) and big lenses tripod collars because I use tripods frequently. I've got Really Right Stuff ballheads/QR clamps on my big Gitzo tripods, and have a arca-swiss style clamp in this ballhead. This small, light ballhead works well, as long as you don't overload it and expect stability as you'd get from a bigger one. It's great with a Canon 7D + 100mm macro (or smaller lens), and works fine with a 180mm macro or 70-200mm f/4 if you are a bit careful to balance the camera/lens as well as you can. Two weeks ago I was shooting with my Canon 100-400mm (extended to 400mm) from the top of my car after sunset, and it did the job. That's pushing the limits and I'd not take my hand off the camera and turn my back, but it did what I needed...and it's a very compact package I leave in my car all the time (unless it's in a backpack with me). This ballhead with a Gorillapod SLR-Zoom model is fabulous for shooting VERY close macros on the tabletop or street with a good P&S. My Canon G11 loves that combo!
