View Full Version : Benro ballheads. Who has one? How do you like it?

They look like nice Acra Swiss knockoff and if the quality is there, the price seems to be right.

I'm thinking of adding a ballhead to my collection... again.

I've got the KS-1 and KS-2 ball heads. They are actually more like the Kirk BH1 and BH3, than the Arca Swiss due to the separate knobs for ball drag and ball tension. The quality is actually outstanding. Easily on par with the Kirk BH1, which I also have, but at about a third of the price.

This is really a first class ball head for less than the very popular, but inferior, gitzo or manfrotto heads.

Then I gotta grab one before they jack up the prices like the feisol did.

Exactly why I bought another one (the KS-2) after I got the first!

lol :lol:

I'm not sure I'm gonna go THAT far.

Which one would you recommend? Their line is kinda confusing.
