Product Description
The compact professional SLIK PBH-635AS ball head has an Arca-type quick release systems for mounting your camera. This newly designed quick release allows select arca-type compatible* quick release plates to lock into place from the side rather than siding in from the front or back. This combined with the 635AS single lever QR lock makes mounting and dismounting the camera much faster and easier than the traditional arca-type system.
This head also features a separate pan lock that locks the ball into place while allowing the head to rotate 360 degrees. Its tension knob controls the rate of the ball’s movement. The low-profile Arca-type quick release plates may be left on the camera and won’t hinder vertical shooting.
The PBH-635AS ball head has a capacity 13.2 lbs. The head is capable of handling a full sized professional DSLR with standard lens. In addition to the standard easy grip ball lock lever the head has a tension adjustment knob to fine-tune the drag on the ball movement.
It also has a separate panoramic lock with degree markings around the base for stitching together for panoramic photos.
* Slik does not recommend using traditional Arca-type compatible quick release plates or L-brackets. Though the head will allow you to mount the plate it does not create a strong enough connection to allow the lever to lock in place.
