Digital Outback Photo contributor Paul Caldwell has taken a look at the BH-55 Ball Head from Really Right Stuff. Don’t know what a ball head is? Let Paul explain:

“With a ballhead, you have a very versatile shooting platform. The basic layout is to have a ball which has a shaft that is attached to your quick release platform, and a case around the ball. The case provides both a method to capture the ball and apply friction to the ball. You need to be able to have a friction mechanism that is variable. This will allow you to free up the ball to allow movement so you can position it for the next shot, but also then tighten down on the ball after the correct position is achieved.”
