" ...  The ball head was frozen in place and could not turn even when pushing in the release button.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The one I received is absolutely defective since the button does not press in any way shape or form, no matter how much pressure is applied, the top ball joint is locked permanently and the product is 100% un usable.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The ball joint also seemed to barely move and the quick release button is a total joke.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The button couldn't be pushed in and the ball head couldn't be adjusted.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Major flaws are: (1) Push button is tacky and it isn't functioning as it intended to be.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The "ball" is pretty difficult to move, even when pushing down the button to allow it to be adjusted. ... The button feels "off" build wise, just feels like it could break at any press.  ...  "
comment
" ...  A bit hart to depress the button.  ...  "
comment
" ...  There is a button that has to be pressed to move the ball head to adjust the angle. ... I almost strained my thumb trying to press the button. ... I have to pull the button back out.  ...  "
