About FLM CB-38FTR + QLB-50

CB-38FTR FTR Series Friction Ball Head
The FLM CB-38FTR Ball Head with QLB-50 lever clamp is an aluminum alloy ball head that can support 55.1 lb. It has three locking knobs; one controls 360 Degree panning and one controls the amount of friction and movement of the ball. The third knob controls FLM's patented tilt function. When the tilt function is activated, the ball moves along a straight line and acts as a tilt head. When the function is deactivated, you have full control over the movement of the ball in all directions. QLB-50 lever clamp is Arca-compatible.

While panning, the PRS system indexes the panning function at every 15 Degree , producing an audible and tactile click. A quick locking mechanism at 0 Degree allows you to quickly attach or remove the head to or from your tripod.

A notch in the head allows the camera to tilt 90 Degree to shoot in portrait orientation.

QLB-50 Universal Quick Release Clamp
The QLB-50 Quick Release Clamp from FLM is a 2" open channel clamp that accepts Arca-type quick release plates. The clamp features a tightening lever, knurled adjustment knob, a 3/8"-16 bottom mounting thread, and a plate restraining pin. The easiest solution for locking camera plates securely in place with the tried-and-tested clamping system. A locking pin ensures that the QR plate cannot slip out of the base when opened. Thanks to the Arca dovetail adaptation, the base is compatible with camera plates of other Arca-Swiss conform manufacturers. Arca-compatible.
