The blue 3 Legged Thing AirHed Pro Ball Head Bluefrom 3 Legged Thing AirHed Pro Ball Head Blueis an Arca-type ball head with a load capacity of 88.0 lb and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8"-16 mount. Cameras or accessories that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the included QR-OCTA Quick Release Plate. The quick release plate can be attached or removed from the integrated clamp located at the top of the head's ball-and-socket joint by tightening or loosening the clamp's knurled, locking knob. Dual retaining screws are included for use along the underside of the plate. These screws prevent the plate from accidentally sliding off the ball head when the clamp is opened. The quick release plate features a rubberized, non-slip platform while a built-in bubble level along the edge of the clamp opposite the clamp's locking knob accommodates landscape orientations.

By loosening the ball head's primary locking knob, the head's ball-and-socket joint can be quickly swiveled, angled, fully tilted, or returned to its upright position. Under the primary locking knob is a secondary locking knob, which controls the ability to rotate the head 360°.

[Yes] Needed for my new carbon fiber tripod legs. Lightweight but strong, excellent load bearing and simple to operate

[90°] magnesium alloy (not aluminum) contributes to strength. very simple head with no tension ability. the gap in the head adjusts to accommodate any arca plate (very important as they vary)

[1x 1/4"-20 Male] Good solid grip when knob tightened. Easily handles all my lenses up to my 200-500. Be careful with plates that may not all be exactly the same width. The lever is great as long as the plates are all the same size. If not consider the plate tightener with the screw instead of the lever.

[Ball Head] When my AirHed arrived, I couldn't believe that such a compact, lightweight ball head could handle the 80 pounds as advertised. After a weekend of shooting with a big, heavy camera and 600mm lens, I realized I had underestimated the 3 Legged Thing. It's as smooth and steady as my friend's Really Right Stuff's much larger ball head. Congratulations to the Brits.

[1x 1/4"-20 Male] I bought this to use with a Peak Design tripod with the Universal Head adapter, since I wanted to do pans, and the stock PD head doesn't have a panning capability. Panning axis has just the right amount of resistance, and the large knob locks the ball securely for my DSLR with a 200mm. I didn't miss/don't see the need for a separate friction control on a ball this size. Great compact travel head.

[Ball Head] I love this ball head. I've used a number of heads and this is by far the best I've used. Construction is sold and most importantly to me is it says in place even with heavy load. All 3 Legged Thing products I've used have been top quality.

[Yes] Smaller than expected for its weight capacity and the knobs are smooth when tension applied. I just wish they made a larger one.

[4.7 x 4.2 x 4"] I am using this ball head on one of my Astro Photography rigs. It is quite tougher then I expected and has no problem supporting a heavy load. My heaviest DSLR rig with lens and guide scope & camera weighs 16 pounds and this little beauty handles is just fine.
I would purchase another one of these if needed... with out hesitation.
