Anyways, I started researching and came across Benro brand when I visited a local camera shop. I saw their tripod and ballheads there, held them, played with them and really liked the knobs that really lock the ballhead in place. They are well engineered, feel really nice and firm when locked, feel easy to turn when loosened and are fine piece of work.
I haven't used Arca Swiss, Really Right Stuff or other expensive ballheads, so I cannot give you first hand comparison with this one. But I found a website that reviewed them all and ranked the ballheads and this Benro ballhead was very close in competition with them.
After using it for nearly 6+ months and putting it through its paces both indoors and outdoors, I am really satisfied with it. I have used this baby with 70-200mm lens telephoto lens, Nikon D700, D7000 and now D600 cameras with flash and whole shebang.
I was so impressed that I also bought the smaller B2 ballhead. And I loaded it up with all the above equipment and it did not blink for a second.
If you are looking for a quality ballhead and/or tripod then you can't go wrong with Benro.
The friction knob is kinda cool, but it's really a feature I don't use much. The ball locks my heaviest setup firmly in place and doesn't drift any. The panning is smooth and nothing has any unnecessary play in it. I recommend this.
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2020
I have the earlier version of this ballhead (IN2) and it has been dramatically improved as far as ergonomics are concerned. I have been using Benro products for years (tripods, multiple tripod heads, etc.) and I have never been disappointed with my purchases. Quality products.
Ball head compared to others I have researched......that's why five star rating.
I recommend it, but get a larger one if you have heavier gear. I think they come in three sizes and this in the middle one. It has been just fine for all my gear.

I could not find any review with all minor details. This may help others. First It's tripod/monopod base mount thread is 3/8' and it comes with a 1/4' Female To Female Convertor Threaded Screw along with an allen key. So it is compatible with all Monopod/Tripod. Quick Release Plate is Arca -Swiss Style with 4 rubber pads to add grip to camera. Size of QR plate PU50 is 50mm(L) x 38mm(W) is decent enough to hold large DSLR. It has safety-stop screws on the bottom to prevent accidental camera fall. Maximum height of this ball head with base plate is 90 mm with 290 grams of total weight. Mentioned load capacity is 8 Kg. I don't have such heavy equipment to test but I am sure it can handle 4Kg. easily (If you don’t mind weight and require more sturdier support, go for Benro B1) It is made of machined Aluminum with high level of quality. The knobs on the body are also made of metal with hard rubber grips on them. All knobs are of different sizes, so no confusion for one knob over another. locking knob is the largest. Ball movement is fairly smooth and 360 degree panning base is Excellent and can be used for videos. Friction control is not precise but does the trick.
A quick release of camera require pulling out the release knob to pull and turn. This is an additional step to release the camera but is a nice feature because it prevent accidental tumbling of your expensive DSLR and lens. It is easy to use once you get the hang of it. There are too many options for heavy ball heads in the market but if you are looking for a small, lightweight and smooth professional ball head for travelling or hiking, B0 is a decent companion.
