Combining fresh design ideas and new technologies, the xpro ball head provides a stable and drift free platform for your camera, with a silky smooth panning action thanks to the use of grease free polymer rings and triple wedges. The magnesium body is both light and strong weighing in at 520g, with a maximum payload of 15kg more than enough for a pro level dslr and long lens combination, plus flashgun and battery grip, should you desire. The mhxpro bhq6 features two levelling bubbles and is supplied complete with a manfrotto top lock an innovative adaptor where the camera is inserted from above rather than from the side which is both faster and simpler. The plate features a safety lock to prevent camera falls a feature the well equipped professional will appreciate. We would recommend using exclusively with a manfrotto plate, 3rd party arca style quick release plates are not recommended with this quick release platform.
