Product Description

There are two 1/4" thread QR plate screws, a 1/4 to 3/8 screw adapter, and a 1/4 to 3/8 bottom screw thread to make the SmallRig mini ball head ideal for most DSLR cameras, camcorders, tripods, sliders, and

You should ensure 360° panoramic rotation for panoramic shooting, as well as 90°/45° front tilt and 50°/50° side tilt for multi-angle shooting that includes horizontal and vertical angles.

With the SmallRig ball head, the base is beautifully laser engraved in 5° increments from 0° to 330° for tracking progressive panning, perfect for shooting panoramic panoramas at several angles simultaneously.

The load capacity of the Max load model is 4. It is made of aluminum alloy. The weight is only 2 pounds, but the quality is very strong. To protect your camera from scratches, it has a rubberized mounting surface on top

An enhanced locking force and greater stability are created by the low-profile ball head design. By locating the screw knob on the side of the ball instead of the bottom of the ball head, 15% of the center of gravity of the ball head is lowered, thus enhancing stability.

Questions & Answers

Is the bottom base diameter the same as the top base?

I have been able to use a standard 1/4" screw with it without any issues

Do you think this will work with Peak Design standard plates?

Yes, I agree! In order to use it with my Peak Travel tripod, I bought it. It was on a goby when I put it on.

In what size does the quick release plate come?

A quick release plate has a diameter of A 9 X 1 is equal to 9. It is 5 inches in diameter

What about the smallrig quick release clamp for arca for Zhiyun crane m2 dpc2508? Will it fit in there?

The zhiyun crane m2 equipment is not available to me. It appears to mount using the 1/4", 20 thread of the camera, based on the information I found on the internet. It does not have any additional mounting points and the plate for this smallrig product will be in the same location as the plate for the camera itself This means it will not be able to be used at the same time. However, if an adapter was available for the zhiyun crane m2, then it could be used. I would have to buy Swiss mounting plates for this to work. ball can also be mounted on the bottom of the cage The 1/4-3/8 Screw Adapter should be able to mechanically install the Zhiyun crane m2 plate, then onto a zhiyun crane m2 plate.

The design is nice and compact

5/5

Quick and easy to use, the unit is equipped with a standard Arca quick mount mechanism. It is designed for use with items that are small and compact, and it cannot handle heavy loads. As per the specs, it can handle 2 kg or 4 kg of weight. This weighing in at 4 lbs. There are probably more people than that, and it's probably a conservative estimate. It only takes a quarter turn of the locking levers to activate them, and one of the nice features is that one can pull out the lever to place it in a convenient position without interfering. User instructions have not been included, so it is up to them to figure it out A bubble level is installed on the Arca Mount, however, it's only really intended for "portrait" camera angles. It is odd that the "landscape" level does not exist. Upon receiving my unit, I found that it had a defect. I was amazed at how easy the return system was to use. The following day, we received a replacement! was going to give the unit just four stars for quality control issues, but Amazon's policy made it possible for me to give it.

Customers of SmallRig get an update on our service

4/5

Having received a bad product, I had some issues with quality control. I was contacted by SmallRig, and they corrected the problem. This must have been an anomaly with the rest of the products that I've used from SmallRig. They're a company with which I'll do business for many years.

The ball head is of good quality

4/5

One thing that I don't like is the paddle style thumb screws. They are less compact than the round head thumb screws and can sometimes get in the way of other equipment fittings.

A rock solid mounting platform for the Canon M50

5/5

There are no complaints with the Canon m50 I own. It's possible some of those bad reviews were written by full framed camera owner, but I have no problem using it with a light setup.

Little ball head with a lot of strength

4/5

It would have been better if it were a little It is not very big but it is The back head is definitely my favorite. It was purchased to use with my tracking program. It works well but could probably be a little bit bigger and taller. There are still regular uses for it.

This product requires little room and works well with good adjustments

5/5

This product was exactly what I was looking for to hold my Sony a6400 in place. Being able to adjust the friction is nice as it is easier to get the right setting. When I click on buttons or adjust the zoom, the camera does not move with an unnatural amount of force, but it does move with a little force when I adjust the zoom. The convenience is excellent.
