Normally, mounting a camera on a monopod steadies it enough for superior exposures. With the ball mount, you can lean the monopod into a rock or tree, and still aim the camera for a good composition. Using this method with a delayed shutter release, it's possible to bracket motionless multiple exposures for HDR images. Nice when a tripod is too heavy to haul.
The ball mount allows you to hold the camera out at the end of the monopod for nifty self-portraits with lots of scenery in the background. The ball mount can also position the camera at the right angle over fences and crowds, into holes and around corners, for perspectives that would otherwise be out of reach. Definitely worth keeping in a pocket. Mini ball head with single knob for ball and pan functions.

4.0 out of 5 stars - Lightweight but good, September 6, 2007 By Bookloving Grandma "Tex"
Watch how many pounds a ball head holds before you order any of them. This one is small and would hold maybe 2-3 pounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars - Giottos MH1004 Mini Ball Head with Single Knob, February 26, 2008 By Jean A. Mccormick "Italianquassolo"
Was given to me as a Christmas Gift. Works with my Monopod beatifully. Can't imagine taking photos without using this attachment. Adjusts easily and works great. I just leave it on top of my monopod.
Thanks for visiting me, and enjoy your days.
