 Solid performer March 28, 2008

I recently purchased this ball head from the Adorama store in NYC. First of all the people at Adorama were very helpful and knowledgeable. When I listed my requirements for a ball head (good quality, fluid movement, bubble levels, quick release, and the ability to hold over 10lbs), I was given four different ball heads to review. Two of them were Adorama's own brand and then two Giottos (one being this one). It took me only a few minutes to "play" with the 1000-652 and I knew this was the ball head for me.
The movement is silky smooth and secure when tightened down. The hash marks on the base are easy to read. The quick release is secure when fastened to the ball head.
I also like the way it looks with my carbon fiber tripod which is black. :)
 Great quality for the price June 20, 2007

Very solidly built ball head. all anodized (satin black) aluminium (even the quick release mechanism). knobs are textured rubber coated. pan action is very smooth with positive locking. attaches to tripod with either 3/8" or 1/4" stud. this head will probably be the last i ever buy.
The levels on the MH652 quick release are not the best but are functional. the base piece attaches snugly to my D200 extending only about 1/4" from the body. locking mechanism is fast, easy and very secure.
A nice ball head at a reasonable price March 17, 2007

I love this thing. This is the second ball head I have owned and the nicest. The knobs are nicely machined and function with precision. It handles a heavy weight and stays in place. It has 3 bubble levels to aid in keeping the horizon straight. It is also able to pan which eliminates the need for a separate pan head. This is an excellent starting setup.
