## Overview

## Description

Outstanding performance and security for your camera gear. The Manfrotto XPRO Ball Head, with its stand-out design and innovative technical features, gives you guaranteed security when shooting with heavy camera gear. It has an effective triple locking system to keep your device stable, and three wedges that prevent drift by enclosing and locking the sphere. Look forward to shake-free shots every time you shoot with this tripod head. With two levelling bubbles you can make quick adjustments with the locking knobs open, and keep your camera perfectly balanced with the friction control. Frame and shoot with greater flexibility, and achieve much sharper images that will help you stand out from the crowd. The XPRO Ball Head offers remarkable portability for photographers on the go. It has a sturdy yet lightweight magnesium body that is only 0.52kg. However, thanks to its safety payload (Safety Payload UNI/PdR 105:2021)it can support a very impressive payload of up to 15kg so you can use it with a wide variety of devices. The new polymer rings also represent a substantial improvement on previous versions, and ensure smoother, more accurate camera movement without unpleasant grease. For a fast, effortless setup, this camera is inserted from above rather than from the side. A safety mechanism is released when the plate engages with the clamp, which prevents your equipment from falling and becoming damaged. The Manfrotto XPRO Ball Head includes an innovative Arca-Swiss-compatible MSQ6PL plate and a Top Lock, and has been manufactured to high standards in Italy.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Ball Head Ever!!
*by G***D on August 9, 2019*

I was hesitant at first to buy this because of the price, but now I wish I had long ago. This ball head handles even my heaviest lenses with ease. Leveling the camera is so much easier with this ball head. I replaced the standard head on my Manfrotto 290 Xtra with this one and LOVE the results! I highly recommend this for professional photographers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great head...
*by A***S on January 22, 2017*

Excellent, just took it to a trip to Iceland and is tough, easy to use and very practical. It was subject to tough weather: rain, snow, heavy winds, salt water mist, etc and held up amazingly well even with my d750 with battery grip, 2 batteries and a 1 kilo lens (14-24 mm).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific Ballhead
*by X***F on December 7, 2020*

Excellent, strong, secure, compact, easy to use ball head. So far has worked well on my Gitzo 300 series tripod with a Canon pro DSLR. Great value and highly recommend it
