The QR plate locks independently to the body of the ballhead for a secure, protective mount. All of the comfort of a tripod head without the overhead to cramp your style or travel ease. Get on the Ball! The ease and immediacy of a BALL HEAD for a tripod. This is the simplest method of camera support on a tripod to position the imagemaking device at the photographer's command choice. Traditionally, tripods are graced with a head that serves to attach a camera and provide alignment for as many as 3 planes: Horizontal axis, Vertical axis, and Zenith/Arc leveling. While sophisticated clamps and levers provided excellent stability with their firm locking power, the 3-way tripod head could grow quite wieldy and heavy to hold a camera firmly.The simple Ball Head overcomes most of the weight and all of the size issues, not the speed of deployment. One lever controls the tilt, orientation, and direction of the camera. The more well-endowed the head, the more separated the action controls provide 180-degree tilt and base camera rotation plus the second knob to independently control 360-degree panoramic swing. Shoot stills or confidence that your device is firm and steady in the 3Pod AB2 Ball Head.

Before the introduction of the Benro GDHAD1 Metal Tripod Spacer, photographers often faced challenges when using photographic heads with control knobs that interfered with the tripod spider, especially when placed in the downward position.

Specifically designed with the Benro GD3WH users in mind, this metal tripod spacer is also compatible with other similar design tripods that feature a large diameter platform for the head. It seamlessly fits between the head and the tripod, allowing photographers to maximize full tilt movements of the head without any hindrance. Whether you're using a Manfrotto tripod or an INNOREL tripod, this versatile spacer ensures that the knobs on the geared head no longer interfere with the top of the tripod. This means you can now enjoy a full 360-degree movement of the camera, enhancing your photographic experience. In essence, the Benro GDHAD1 Metal Tripod Spacer is not just a simple product, but a practical solution that enhances the functionality and versatility of your photography equipment.
