Questions & Answers

don a : what is the width of the quick release plate, will the clamp accept a 38 mm plate?
ANTHONY A : my tilt all tripod mount tripod screw mount is 1/4"?MIKE B : I don't know if it is called a bushing or an adapter, but a 1/4" to 3/8" bushing is available at every camera store.LEN K : Should work fine for you. that should be the standard tripod thread. Also come with a quick connect plate comes with the Same 1/4 inch thread for the bottom of you camera body. Very sturdy ball head. Great value for the money.MIKE B : If your asking if your 1/4" will work the answer is no because this head has a 3/8" bottom thread. MikeHANSEN, S : yes, it is.
Shopper : I have a sunpak 9001 UT tripod and want to replace the existing head with a ball head. When I take of the existing head there is no screw at the top to screw a ball head onto. There is a mushroom head on top so the ball head would need to slide over the mushroom and a locking screw would be needed to hold the head on. Will this ball head work on my Sunpak?Keith N : No. The bottom of the head has a 3/8 coarse thread screw mount.LESLIE M : The head-to-tripod connection on this head is 3/8"-16 Female.

Ball Head

Construction is very solid. Security for the quick release plate could be better There is no spring loaded security lock button.

Glad I bought the 3pod h1 ball head

I bought a 3 pod tripod to go with this ball head. It's size is a bit deceiving, I mounted my canon 7d with the 70 -300 L lens on it. The ball head moves smoothly and with out any shakes. I would recommend it .

This is quite a heavy duty piece for such a low price.

This is quite a heavy duty piece for such a low price. It is tight and swivels smoothly. The attachment point will need a 3/8 -1/4 reducer (head to tripod) on some tripods and should have been included (I would have paid a bit more if necessary instead of having to order separately) but on others is not needed. The quick detach works fine but is not so quick as it has to be unscrewed rather far before lifting the camera out of the track. Once in though it is veru secure and is definitley not going anywhere.

Works as expected

This is the first ballhead I've ever owned but I must say it works as expected. I like the build-in levels this will be very helpful out in the field.

Excellent product for the price

I'm using this on a Gorrilla pod, and I didn't want to spend huge dollars, but wanted something stable. This works well with my Nikon D610, and a 70-200mm 2.8 mounted.

Great buy

Appears to be very well built. Sturdy. The arca-swiss compatible quick release is what I was looking for. The included quick release plate is a bonus.

The H1 ballheadis the first in the family from 3POD heads with a wide variety ofphoto / video tripods and monopod solutions, and sports an anodized wear-resistant finish. A universal mounting pin in the ballhead's 1/4" international standard clamping quick release plate lets you attach most camera types with minimal adjustment required.

In line with all 3POD's signature ballheadgems, the H1 employs state-of the art ergonomic design, hydraulic damping for flawlessly smooth movement and jitter-free panning.

Four knobs located on the clamp and body of the ballhead control locking and positioning. The uppermost locks the quick release plate firmly in place, while the lower three control large-angle adjustment, small-angle adjustment, and horizontal adjustment of the ball mechanism.

At the base a convenient 360° dial makes for easy, perfect positioning throughout the ballhead's full range of panoramic movement, ideal for panoramic stitching projects.
