Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the tightening screw just below the 1/4 -20 made of aluminum or plastic?

A: The black plastic knob that is used to screw the 1/4 -20 thread into the camera is plastic.

Q: 2. What would be the reasons for choosing this ball head over the similar Oben bd-02?

A: Both the Oben BD-0 Mini Ball Head, B&H # OBBD0, and the Oben BD-02 Mini Ball Head, B&H # OBBD02, are very similar. The main difference between the two items is the BD-0 Mini Ball Head has a slim profile platform on the top of the tripod head, while the Oben BD-02 Mini Ball Head has a wide platform on the top of the camera. While both may be used with cameras as long as they are under the maximum load capacity, I would personally recommend the BD-0 for small, lightweight, and slim cameras, hot shoe flashes, LED lights, or other small, lightweight fixtures that use the standard 1/4"-20 tripod connector. The BD-02 with its wider platform would be better for larger cameras such as point-and-shoot super-zoom cameras, larger advanced point-and-shoot, mirrorless, or DSLR cameras, and larger camera accessories that use the standard 1/4"-20 tripod connector and which would benefit from better connection from the wide platform.
