I like this ballhead. It supports heavy camera/lens combinations and is quick to adjust and lock down. I particularly like the way the top of the head pans instead of the entire head turning. Arca Swiss compatibility with other tripod plates.

PAUL // PLATYBALL ELITE
"Unique design. Solid head."

I used the Platyball while on vacation on the beaches of Oregon. It held the weight of my Canon R6 with a 24-70 F4.0 lens in both landscape and portrait; no creeping. I needed to make some fast adjustments while changing tripod locations on a rocky and sea misted location. With the easy to use controls, it was a breeze to make those quick adjustments. I am very happy with my purchase.

KAREN // PLATYBALL ERGO
"Simple and Fast to use"

I have used relatively cheap ballheads up until now, while my spending on cameras and lenses has been astronomical. I was looking for something easy to use, that would work well on my Manfrotto tripod, my Peak Design travel tripod, and the PlatyPod. And would not have any slippage once it's set. And wouldn't break the bank. The Platyball fit all those criteria. Absolutely fantastic.

TIM // PLATYBALL ERGO
"Absolutely Fantastic!"

Very well built and heavy. Will take some getting used to because it is different from most ballheads but very easy to use and only takes one hand to operate.

DOUG // PLATYBALL ERGO
"Built to Last"

The eXtreme gives me a stable way to take new images. With the Canon R and lenses that can cause a balance issue I have finally found a versatile, stable platform to shoot from. It has opened up the creative world of low angle images. No matter the surface there is a way the only limitation is you being able to set up the Platypod, if you can get a strap around a tree or pole you can get the image you want. Easier to carry & work with than a tripod. This is a must have accessory for any photographer!

LOGON // PLATYPOD EXTREME
"A New Way to See an Image"

With the right tripod head attached, I’m convinced I can mount and use my cine camera just about anywhere I can imagine. I use this mounted to my car door to secure my camera. I’ve mounted my camera and/or lights strapped to trees with this as the base to properly secure it. I’ve put my camera right on the ground and got some incredible low-profile shots with this even in shallow puddles of water. And it’s so compact it fits in any gear bag. There’s no reason this should have any poor reviews! 5 star product for real!

"This device is from the future!"

Must have accessory to go with your platypod for serious iPhone photography. Built well, and easy to use!!

One of my favorite ‘Sammonisms’ is, use your hand-held camera like a drone. In other words, move your camera up and down, tilt it and move it side to side for creative angles. Thanks to Platypod I was able to follow my own advice while photographing this woman in a rural village in China.
