Not what it appears2009-04-09
I ordered this head with a manfrotto table top tripod. The micro ball head bore (screw top) is too large for any camera I own. It appears this ball head may be for another type of camera (video) although I cannot find anything in the listing that indicates what it is used for. I've had to order another head to work with the Manfrotto tripod. It is too bad because this is a solid head otherwise.

Compared to the most expensive Online Store, this is the exact same product for 5 time cheaper. A huge savings for my company and my Customers. I'll be coming back here for future purchases. Fast Order processing.
Ball head works great with monopod2008-06-28
Bogen-Manfrotto 482 Micro Ball Head
(5 stars for my purposes, 4 stars over-all)
I found this ball head to work great with my monopod (Manfrotto 790B, giving a high degree of flexibility and stability in low/lower light situation. It allowed me to take good pictures of frogs and other Costa Rican wildlife behind glass and during night hikes using just a (good quality) LED flashlight for lighting (better than flash). It allowed me to prop against walls, ground, etc. for good stability in many different angles and position, even without tightening down the ball. It is also compact enough to not get in the way when hanging the monopod on my arm or using the monopod for a walking stick at other times. The quality is much better that other small ball heads I looked at. It was perfect for my uses with small to medium sized equipment (12x optical w/ IS), but would probably not be suitable for lager bodies and lenses. For those I would use a tripod and a larger ball head. But I value the ease and flexibility in wild life situations, such as rain forests, where shot opportunities are often fleeting and lighting is often low (even during the day). It is very easy to spin off & on my camera ( w/ monopod & head in vertical position) with the extra bulk and expense of a quick release head.
Excelente producto2008-02-06
Hace mas de 2 años que poseo una Canon PowerShot A640 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom, esta es mi primera camara digital y lo que aprendi con el uso diario me llevo a la necesidad de comprarme un trípode practico y portátil. Eso me llevo a comprarme el Joby GP3-01EN Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Flexible Tripod for Digital SLR Cameras, el cual al contrario de los modelos 1 y 2 no trae la cabeza flexible para poder ajustar los ejes de vision de la camara.

Buscando en la red y leyendo muchos foros, blogs y grupos de flickr, me decidi por comprarme esta cabeza de trípode sin muchas expectativas.
La verdad es que funciona a la perfeccion con el Gorillapod3 lo cual lo convierte en casi una compra obligada si posees unos de estos tripodes.

La camara se ajusta firme y el sistema de bola permite girar casi a cualquier lugar la misma.

En cuanto a la construcción, es muy resistente no es del tipo plástico frágil, se siente muy solido y se nota que resiste el uso intenso.
Perfect for travel tripod2007-10-10
I have a small Slik Sprint Pro tripod that came with a small ball head. The Slik head wouldn't keep my DSLR with a medium zoom locked, so I replaced it with this head. The 482 works great and is the perfect head for this light tripod - certainly not as stable as a larger head and tripod but the combo works great when weight is a premium.

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
