Quality
Handling xb44 gives a feeling of a sturdy structure with a very fine and high quality cnc machining and finishing

Packaging/appearance
The only minor complaint i have is that the stem is so short that the bottom of the clamp hits the base of the ballhead when tilted
I cant blame anyone for buying the established premium brands like rrs but i think sunwayfoto has a good product in the xb44
Competitiveness
The minimized panning base compared to other sunwayfoto models is still quite visible due to the white engraved markings
Last but not least sunwayfoto offers a 5 year limited warranty extension upon registration

The offset placement of the frictionlock and the panning lock knobs as well as the behavior of the mechanism suggests that a totally new mechanism has been designed patent pending using internal callipers both for the ball and the panning control

There is no scale ring on the friction control knob as with previous models

There are also two small torx head screws visible that hold a small cover of the ball control mechanism

Xb44s ball follows the sunwayfoto standard of their ball head balls being ellipsoidal but closer to spherical form than balls made by other manufacturers
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The optimum tilting range is also dependent on the size of the ball as with larger balls the center of gravity remains within the limits of the perimeter of the sphere for greater angle tilts
