Solid deal as you get the ball mount + handle. 1/2 price compared to just buying the mount on its own ($60). Was this price ~6months ago and again just the mount without the handle accessory. Positive reviews and looks decently built.
Mount only (to compare):

CamelCamelCamel.
I see what you did there 😜
Would it take Smartphones?
Probably.. but you'll need a work-around as it wont be out of the box solution.
You'll need a phone tripod adapter
Yup!! Spot on.
How much are they? Would it be easier to buy a tripod just for that? :/

You can find them for $2 if you can wait for them to arrive from China
Hey just want to ask, may be a silly question, but does it actuall include the stand? or do you place this on top of an existing stand?
You would need to buy a tripod (or whatever) separately.
Can it fit on any tripod?
I have been looking to buy one of these for a while, I hate the standard tripod fitting where you need to adjust 3 seperate leavers
It has a 3/8" screw mount which should be compatible with most. I think that and 1/4" are the most common.
@me-charles: My please :) I got one too, can't go wrong considering it fulfilled by Amazon.
Thanks for answer the question eecan.
Love these companies offering accessories (well built as well) at a fraction of the cost of the established brands. Great stuff.
I say this as someone who has invested way too much into Gitzo/Arca Swiss over the years. I wish these companies had been around when I first started in photography.
I know right! Also pushes invasion and better value on the bigger players too.
I guess this thing doesn't have a horizontal bubble level like with their other heads? The images aren't conclusive despite the item description suggesting plural levels. Need both horizontal and vertical for a motorised slider and motion control device.
Good call.
On the up side I guess it's somewhat of an easy fix. You could get a level accessory that you put into the flash mount which are normally pretty cheap.
Yeah that's an idea. Thanks.
No worries :)
Thanks Op, missed out but still a good deal at $35
Sorry to hear you missed out.. if I see it pop up again I'll post it.
Is the neewer model better than the oldder model ?
