The RRS BPC-16 Microball Panning Basefrom RRS BPC-16 Microball Panning Baseis a 4.4 oz compact and portable ball head that has a 5 lb weight capacity, which makes it suitable for small DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, or other small accessories used for photographic or video use. Moreover, the integrated screw knob locks the Arca-type compatible clamp down while the second locking wheel, which surrounds the first knob, enables the head to rotate a full 360°. Meanwhile, at the top of the stem, the quick release lever disengages to allow movement on the ball, and the cut notch at the bottom of the head allows it to be placed at a 90° angle.
The 2" tall Microball is constructed using 6061-T6 aluminum with steel components. Both metals have a durable finish. Namely, the aluminum has a type II black anodized finish while the steel components are ferritic nitrocarburized, which protect the surfaces from scuffs and oxidation. At the bottom of the stem, a 1/4"-20 female threaded mount is available.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Is this compatible and can It be mounted on a RRS BH-30 ballhead?
A: Yes, the Really Right Stuff ARC-LR Lever-Release Clamp with Adjustable RRS-Lock will work with the RRS BH-30 ballhead.
Q: 2. Is there any way of attaching this to a tripod to take landscape shots for stitching together as a panorama?
A: We're afraid not. The underside of this unit does not offer threadings to attach it to a tripod. This is meant to be put on surface only.
Q: 3. Is this compatible with the Sirui W-2204 tripod, and Manfrotto MVH500AH video fluid head?
A: While the Manfrotto MVH500AH head can fit on the top of the Kirk TLB-1, the base would be too wide to sit flush with the base on the Sirui W-2204.
Q: 4. Is this leveling base compatible with the Manfrotto 608 Fluid head?
A: Yes the Manfrotto 608 Fluid Head is compatible with this leveling base.
Q: 5. Are the four holes in the top plate suitable for grub screws or some other item to hold the tripod head in place (to keep it from rotating)?
A: No, those holes are for the downward screws that attach the black part to the silver base.
Q: 6. I was tossing up between this and the BC-18. I find the BPC-16 more appealing due to the ability to pan and rotate it 90 degrees. But I read a review that said in practice the 90 degree rotation does not work on larger cameras as the small size of the ballhead does not leave enough room for the camera to rotate. The tripod body get in the road. He recommends the BC-18 as a much better ballhead. I was interested whether others have had difficulty in rotating the head 90 degrees to portrait mode?
A: The BPC-16 can only hold up to 5 lbs, so using it with a larger camera may cause some issues with rotating the head to portrait mode. This would make the BC-18 a better head if you don't need the panning function and are using a heavier camera.
Q: 7. What is the top threaded connection where the head or camera would be attached?
A: This unit has a 3/8"-16 for attaching a tripod head. It would not be directly compatible with most cameras.
Q: 8. One reviewer noted that pins were NOT included, why are the pins not included?
A: You can change the position of the clamp 90 degrees by simply unscrewing the center bolt and repositioning the lock pins. Extremely easy to use, no instructions needed.
Q: 9. Can the quick release clamp be replaced by the Sunwayfoto DDC-60L Screw-Knob Dovetail Clamp? Is the DDC-60L longer than the clamp included here?
A: Yes . The length will be approximately the same
Q: 10. Visual Echoes panning plate is of which country
A: The Visual Echoes Panning Plate is produced in the United States.
