Awesome review buddy! Just purchased one of these online about 20 mins ago, got a wedding to shoot in a few days and now at least I know I can count on my equipment! Lol

Thank you for the video. I just bought Manfrotto 498rc2 ball head. It looks like on my sample "ball locking lever" is not doing anything. If friction knob is not tighten "ball locking lever" does not lock the ball at all. The ball still moves freely even after "ball locking lever" is in the locked position. The only way to lock the ball is to tighten the friction knob. In your video "ball locking lever" actually locks the ball. Looks like I got a defective product.

Good video

Really nice review. I was researching alot before picking up a new head and this is the one I chose. You know it may not be to hard to tap two small divots into the base so you could use the locking screws on tripod. I may try that on mine and let you know how it turns out

Thanks - firstly - I was going to buy this ballhead BUT after thinking that the panning-knob would be more like the pain in the ass (and that I would rarely use it either) I think that I go now for 496RC2, which is lighter, much faster and cheaper (but in this case it's not the primary matter, as I can also get 498RC2, just the convenience matters..).
BUT still I consider if buying KJ-0 wouldn't be a good solution for me, any experience?

Thank you very much for this review :).
How much weight do you think it can handle (I mean to sustain stability and comfortness of usage)?
50D + 70-300 IS or Sigma 150 Macro (0,895g) won't be a problem to use?
And also have you put C 100-400 4.5-5.6L or 400/5.6L on it?

a 50d with a 70-300 lens , no problems at all. I run the canon version and it works a treat. I also had the battery pack on it too.
A 100-400 should also be fine, however I haven't tested it.
