Re: Bitteschön!

The seller didn't even mention a ballhead at all, but that second pic looked like there is one, with the legs folded over the head. Baibian's website also mentioned a ballhead coming with this BD-284 tripod, an MD-28, so I bought it.

Here it is:

Baibian's nicest looking ballhead, the 45A: http://www.baibian.tw/Ballhead-45A.html

I wish I knew who imports/sells Baibian products here in Europe, and under what brand name!

With the button release and the lack of safety screw grooves, that looks like a Sirui style ballhead.  They are not fully compatible with Arca Swiss plates.   I could not fit a Sirui tilt head clamp to the vertical plate on my L bracket.
