Secure Ball Head You Can Trust

By Robert Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2023-01-25

The Really Right Stuff BH-55 is a very secure ball head that will hold your camera or a Nikon 200-400 mm lens without compromising your set up. I have the BH-30 and BH-40, and those ball heads are right for traveling or a lighter set up with the camera and lens. I am also pleased with the ease of using the ball head and to have an instant secure camera set up in return. The screw-knob clamp is a secure way for interchanging different camera plates or lens plates. Will use for landscapes that are view points you can drive to and set up quickly.

Solid

By joseph Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2022-06-27

Sturdy, solid ball head. I considered other ball heads, but decided on the RRS BH-55 because of the fast locking of the main lockdown knob and high weight it can handle.

I get what is best. Promediagear and it’s H1 head was my first go to choice. I was wrong. It wasn’t has smooth and precise has I hope for. But after 3 shoots already I can say that this RRS-BH55 will do the job! No excuse for fixe and easy to use, on the job, head.

Complete Satisfaction

By Mike Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2022-08-09

I purchased a Nikon D850, Nikon 24-70 f2.8, Nikon 70-200 f2.8, and a Nikon 200-500 f5.6 from over the past year. These were all upgrades from previous camera equipment. I tried various tripod heads and was not satisfied with the stability and precision; especially with the 200-500 set up. The BH-55 head has met all my expectations. A rock solid product. The service was impeccable per usual. Highly recommend the RRS BH-55 for anyone with large camera equipment.

This is a beast of a head

By Douglas Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2022-07-17

I have had numerous ball heads over the past 10 years. All have failed – some fairly quickly. My last head was a nice Sirui and it held up well for about 4 years making it a good price/value. But in all honesty I think it would have gone faster had I not gotten rid of my old RB67 in 2019. This new head feels like it will support a tank. I waited about 4 months to review it as I wanted to put it through its paces. It has only gotten better as time has passed. The controls are ultra-smooth, the head is strong, the finish is holding up well to abuse, and the design is great. Consider me an RRS convert.
