Description
The Specialist Series SPH36P Ball Head is a true testament to technical excellence. Boasting both upper and lower panning controls adorned with degree marks, this ball head offers unparalleled precision. The generously sized main tension control is not only easy to use but also features a built-in memory lock dial, ensuring a consistently repeatable tension stop.
Providing flexibility, the SP36P comes equipped with both high-rise and low-profile memory lock dials, allowing users to choose the option that best suits their preferences. The ProMaster dovetail quick release system adds to the head's user-friendly design, offering compatibility with various arca-swiss type quick release products.
Machined from high-grade aluminum rather than cast, the quality of these heads is unmistakable. The arca-swiss compatible QR plates feature an incorporated safety catch mechanism for added security during use.
Identifying touch points on the head is a breeze with the rich red color of the knobs. The SP heads excel in versatility, enabling panning from both the base and the top platform, complete with engraved degree markings. This allows for initial framing using the lower panning base, followed by upper panning to rotate the camera without altering its other positioning.
Even in challenging conditions, the large tension control knob remains easy to handle, accommodating users wearing gloves. The tension control knob houses a secondary knob known as the Memory Lock, ensuring a consistent tension when adjusting the camera on the ball head.
Choose between two memory lock knobs included with the ball head. Opt for the protruding Memory Lock knob for easy adjustments or switch to the low-profile Memory Lock knob to prevent any inadvertent changes.
