Ball Heads - Reinvented!
Manfrotto
Manfrotto has introduced a full line of ball heads with payloads from 2kg up to 8kg. All models (except for the smallest 492 head) have a completely new friction control allowing micro movements without opening/closing the head lock. The convenient lock lever is repositionable for fast and convenient use. The 492, 494 and 496 heads have a simple flat plate, and the 494RC2, 496RC2, 498RC2 and 498RC4 feature a quick release plate. The quick release models include a secondary safety pin that avoids accidental detachment of the camera from the head.
