Questions & Answers

Nicholas M : I have a Tamron 70-200mm. The collar has a built in Arca Swiss plate. Will my plate, on the lens collar, fit this head?SHAWN M : It should, however I would REALLY consider a more high quality, more capable head. This thing in't that precise and I wouldn't use it for something incredibly heavy or costly like that. It should work, YES, but I wouldn't recommend it.
TERRY R : Can this Arca Swiss accomodate 38mm wide plate?
Bipin G : What is the Ball Diameter in mm??ANDREW R : Not specified by the manufacturer.

Rated 4 out of 5

Pistol grip

Made well and easy to use. I needed a 1/4-20 to 3/8-16 adapter bushing to mount it on to my tripod. I would recommend this product.

Pretty Exceptional

Pretty exceptional for the price. Works fine even with my 100-400mm lens. Yet is nice and relatively small and light (it’s on my travel Tripod).

Because capturing the perfect shot often hinges on the stability and flexibility of your equipment, the Barska Ball Joint Tripod Head with Quick-Release Plate stands out as an essential tool for photographers and videographers alike. This high-quality ball head is engineered to be both lightweight and durable, offering sturdy support for SLR or DSLR cameras equipped with a medium lens, as well as lighter medium format cameras.

The design of this tripod head emphasizes ease of use and versatility. A single, intuitive main knob swiftly unlocks the ball joint, allowing for rapid and precise camera positioning. Once your desired angle is achieved, simply retighten the knob to secure the camera in place and resume shooting without delay. For those panoramic shots or when tracking moving subjects, the full 360-degree panning knob comes into play, enabling smooth rotation around a complete axis without compromising the stability of the ball joint.

A standout feature of the Barska Ball Joint Tripod Head is the 90-degree notch, which is particularly beneficial for portrait orientation, ensuring your images have the professional edge. Additionally, the built-in bull's eye bubble leveler is an indispensable aid, guaranteeing that your tripod setup is perfectly level for accurate shot composition.

The quick-release plate is a game-changer for photographers on the go. It features a retractable video pin and attaches securely to your camera via a standard 1/4"-20 screw. The quick-release mechanism allows for swift attachment and detachment of your camera, ensuring you never miss a moment. The safety knob adds an extra layer of security, preventing the camera from accidental release.

Crafted with reliability in mind, this tripod head is suitable for a variety of camera and lens combinations, thanks to its maximum load capacity of 5 lb. The tripod mount thread size of 3/8"-16 makes it compatible with a wide range of tripods and support systems, making it a versatile choice for both outdoor and indoor photography settings.

Whether you're capturing breathtaking landscapes, vibrant street scenes, or dynamic portraits, the Barska Ball Joint Tripod Head with Quick-Release Plate is a reliable companion that enhances your photographic experience, providing the stability and flexibility needed to elevate your imagery. (Note: Tripod and camera not included.)
