Platypod Platyball Ergo Overview
The Platyball Ergo Ball Head from Platypod has a different design than traditional ball heads. The Platyball Ergo features an inverted design, with the panning turntable at the top rather than the bottom.
The Platyball Ergo provides standard 360° swivel and 90° tilt adjustment. Instead of a conventional knob for locking this ball head movement, the Ergo has two buttons on the front that you can control with your index finger. One tightens and the other loosens the ball head. The front positioning of these two controls lets you easily use them even during a shot. You won't need to use a second hand. There is also a dial on the side for locking the pan rotation, and a button on top for locking and releasing the Arca-type clamp. The pan axis rotates a full 360°, and you can keep rotating it without end.
The Platyball Ergo features an Arca-type clamp on top and a 3/8"-16 thread on the bottom. A 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 bushing adapter is also included for the bottom thread. Additionally, a calibration/level disc is included that allows you to convert the top from an Arca interface to a 1/4"-20 screw to which you can attach your camera directly. The calibration/level disc has a 1/4"-20 screw on top and Arca-type dovetail on the bottom. It also has a 3/8"-16 thread on the bottom. The purpose of the 3/8"-16 thread is for mounting the Ergo on the various optional Platypod plates that are available sold separately.

Platypod Platyball Ergo Reviews
Simple and Fast to use
I used the Platyball while on vacation on the beaches of Oregon. It held the weight of my Canon R6 with a 24-70 F4.0 lens in both landscape and portrait; no creeping. I needed to make some fast adjustments while changing tripod locations on a rocky and sea misted location. With the easy to use controls, it was a breeze to make those quick adjustments. I am very happy with my purchase.
Ball head works amazingly well
So far it's awesome
Built to Last
Very well built and heavy. Will take some getting used to because it is different from most ball heads but very easy to use and only takes one hand to operate.
It is not much good for lens as big as a 70-200.
I find it a bit gimmicky. I do not know why tightening each area down uses a different device.
Absolutely Fantastic!
I have used relatively cheap ball heads up until now, while my spending on cameras and lenses has been astronomical. I was looking for something easy to use, that would work well on my Manfrotto tripod, my Peak Design travel tripod, and the PlatyPod. And would not have any slippage once it's set. And wouldn't break the bank. The Platyball fit all those criteria. Absolutely fantastic.
Love the idea, but went back to my other tripod head
I love the idea of the Platyball and the design is pretty ingeneous. My problem was that I kept releasing the plate accidentally when caring the tripod around with the head and my camera on top. It was operator error, for sure. But it was very easy to do unintentionally. A couple of times, the only thing that saved my camera from crashing to the ground was the attached cable release that I had ahold of. I ended up going back to my previous ball head (glad I had brought it with me). I will probably use the Platyball again, perhaps on the Platypod plate, so not returning it.
