Desmond Photographic Distribution has recently introduced the smallest member of their alternative family of Demons.
The Demon DB-30 Mini ball head despite its small size, promises silky smooth operation with affirmative locking.
As usual with Desmond products, the DB-30 maintains a great value for money ratio compared to similarly priced ball heads.

This size of ball head is ideal for mini table top tripods in order to support smaller DSLRs and the increasing in popularity ILC mirror-less cameras.
Stay tuned for a very competitively priced combo that includes a new table-top tripod and the mini Demon.
