Overview

The BH-55 Ball Head with Full-Size Lever-Release Clamp from Really Right Stuff is an 890 gramme ball head that will support large camera/long lens combinations weighing up to 23 kg. Crafted from aluminium and stainless steel, the BH-55 has all of the features you'd expect from a professional-level head. An oversized, ergonomic locking knob allows 45-degree tilting in all directions and dual 90-degree drop-notches facilitate quick and accurate switching from the horizontal landscape position to vertical portrait orientation. A separate tension knob is provided to apply the appropriate pressure that safely corresponds to the weight of your camera. A third knob loosens and locks the panning base which is laser-engraved with markers every 2.5 degrees from 0 to 360 degrees.
