Just got my new HorusBennu LX-5 from korea! Now all i need is a canon 10-22mm!
First off the shipping was pretty fast. I chose the free shipping option on ebay and the estimated arrival was April 7 or later and i got it a week after i ordered it.

The quality of this 44 mm ballhead is GREAT. I'm talking seriously good quality overall. The knobs have a really nice rubber grip too them too and the adjustments are very smooth. The metal used is great and i love the red paint, it really gives the overall tripod setup a unique look.

Overall i am very happy with this product and would highly recommend it to everyone looking for a new tripod head that is relatively inexpensive ($109), high in quality, and can hold alot of weight (this ball head can take around 100lbs).

Glad you are enjoying the ballhead. From their lineup this is the standard ballhead to get IMO, I like it better than their FX-45Q.

It looks like the same ballhead and like the color options.

cool, its neat to see these starting to get exposure. I really like my fx34q head, these look nice too... I dont mind the red myself but it would be nice to at least have black or gray as an option

The FX-34Q is pretty legit.

I doubt it, they just look similar... I guess if we wanted to confirm we would need someone with either a 3 legged thing or a LX-5 to buy the other one, lol.

"Korea Design Technology & China Productivity". Probably a red colored and rebadged Triopo B-3 (external link) as the 3 Legged Thing. ;)
