MANFROTTO Ball Head 496 Q6 w/ Top Lock Plate
For all photographers looking for a portable and powerful ball head, the 496 aluminum center ball head with Top Lock plate allows for smooth and accurate camera placement.
This tripod head is made of lightweight and highly resistant aluminum, so it is portable and strong enough to handle an impressive payload capacity of up to 10kg.
It's the perfect solution for all types of mirrorless cameras with zoom lenses and DSLRs; Camera sliders and motion controls ensure stability and security.
This advanced ball head combines practicality with high performance and features three independent controls that give it the versatility to suit any environment.
A main ergonomic knob manages the ball lock, and an integrated friction control knob adjusts the ball tension so that the weight of the equipment is always perfectly balanced and shots are framed effortlessly.
An independent pan button keeps the horizon flat and moves the camera horizontally, allowing for photos of astonishing landscapes.
Framing in the new 496 is also easier and opens up limitless options, so you can pursue any angle for creating new and innovative content.
Manufactured to high standards in Italy, the 496 Center Ball Head mounts an Arca-Swiss compatible MSQ6PL slide plate and a Top Lock.
The head has three spirit levels (one for each axis of rotation) to facilitate accurate framing and help produce straight images in the camera, ensuring that the full camera frame is usable and reducing post-production time.
For quick and effortless setup, the camera is inserted from the top rather than the side.
A safety mechanism is released when the board engages the head, which prevents your equipment from sliding out.
