Sirui K-10x Ball Head

I have used this head for several years. It works but I am not real happy with it. The weight rating is optimistic. I mostly use it with a E-M1 or an E-M5 with a legacy Olympus 50mm f2 macro and a Novoflex Castle Q. Both cameras have an L bracket (the Sirui arca plate is too sloppy).

I already own a K-30, the larger brother to this one, and I needed a lighter head for travel. This head is perfect for that reason, weighs less, is a bit smaller, and fits into my travel bag well. It also mates up well to my Sirui aluminum travel tripod.

I was looking for a lightweight mate for my carbon fiber hiking tripod. This fits the bill perfectly. Despite the light weight and slim design, the head feels solid in your hand, and operates with a smooth, professional feel. Happy with my purchase!

I was concerned about the size of this ball head given the load capacity but after receiving it and testing it out, all doubts are gone. This ball head is incredible for its size. YeAh it looks a bit funny on a larger tripod but it will hold any dslr setup you have sans the huge 5-600mm lenses.

I have a Sony mirrorless system so a wanted a small, light and solid tripod + ball head combo for landscape work. After a lot of trial and error over a 2 year period, I have finally found the perfect combination. A Feisol CT-3442 and this Sirui ball head.

Is this a suitable upgrade to the Sirui Traveller 7C tripod's kit head?

Some time ago I got the Sirui K-20X ball head, loved it, but it was a bit big for some purposes. Thus I recently got the K-10X. It has all the great features of its bigger brother, but in a smaller package. I was just hoping they made something smaller and lighter.

This is a size smaller than the ball head recommended for the Sirui tripod I bought, but does the job. It holds my gear and locks tight. No complaints so far!

...but I recently lost my tripod with this ball head attached, and this is a replacement. It is a great ball head, I love it, thats why I bought the same one. I would definitely recommend it.

Nice ball head for APS-C sized cameras. Friction is adjustable and works very smoothly.
