Sirui K-30x Ball Head

I wanted to put this through its paces before writing a review to figure out if it was going to hold up. Short answer is - it does.Longer answer.This is very well built. It supports the heaviest kit I have (about 13 pounds - large format) without any issue. It locks in place great.

I have used this head on an Induro CT214 tripod for about 2 years, at least once a week, supporting about 5 or 6 lbs of gear, sometimes more. Previously I have used a variety of heads, including the Sirui K-20x.

Very sturdy and stable. It holds my heaviest camera/lens combo with no apparent strain, and holds its position nicely. I also like the adjustable drag to set ease of camera movement for tracking moving subjects, yet it will lock down for doing close-up work. definitely recommended.

I have only had this a short while, but I am so far very pleased with this ball head. My initial tests with it supporting my heaviest and longest lense (a 55-300) have not disappointed me.

Well built and has performed initially very well. This is a large ball head, that appears to be able to handle most any load thrown at it. All adjustments operate smoothly and maintain the position/setting selected. The plate and associated hardware all match the same quality manufacturering.

Robust, solid and smooth. Nicely engineered. Working great.

Excellent quality and price. I use a Canon 6D MK11 with the Canon 70-300 L Lens. Both of these make it quite heavy. Using this ball head the camera/lens combination managed to hold well without dropping. Overall it is an excellent high quality ball head.

Very well made and reliable ball head which combines brilliantly with the Sirui N-3304-X tripod. Great load bearing capacity

This amateur is enjoying the K-30x ball head on a very sturdy tripod. Using this equipment to track the moon, 20 Jan 2019 ~ 8:45 pm in south central California. Will review later when I have a better camera.

I got this to put on a sirui tripod for when I go to get wildlife photos. Supports my K1 with the 150-450 lens with no real issues. I am still learning the pan and tilt knobs, but if your on a budget, and want a well made ball head, look into this one.
