REVIEW - Ruittos B2 Panning Ball Head - PLUS Field Testing (vs. Manfrotto XPRO)

In this video we review the budget friendly Ruittos B2 Panning Ball Head plus take it out in the field where we make some comparisons to the much more expensive Manfrotto BHQ2 XPRO. We will share pros and cons for this product. It is a tripod ball head with handle and quick release shoe plate and 360 degree panoramic swivel you can mount on a tripod, monopod, and use with DSLR camera, video camera, or smartphone with phone adapter. We found it to be a sturdy product and for the price a much less expensive option for amateur and beginner photographers.

This product was provided to us at no charge in exchange for an honest review.
