For all amateur photographers looking for a small yet powerful ball head, the 494 aluminum head allows for quick and precise setup and framing of the camera. Lightweight and compact, the 494 ball head is ideal for anyone seeking a fast and easy solution that aids in precision framing. This tripod head is made from highly durable, lightweight aluminum, making it extremely easy to carry while being sturdy enough to support a payload of up to 8 kg of equipment. It is the perfect solution for all types of mirrorless cameras with zoom lenses and even for medium-sized DSLR cameras. This advanced head combines practicality with high functionality and features three independent controls: the main lever for locking the ball, an integrated friction control knob that adjusts the ball's tension so that the equipment's weight is always perfectly balanced and the framing is aligned with ease, and finally, an independent panoramic lever that keeps the horizon aligned and moves the camera horizontally, allowing the photographer to take stunning landscape shots.
