About Novoflex ClassicBall 3 II

How can you elevate your photography experience The answer lies in the NOVOFLEX ClassicBall 3 II Ball Head, a favorite among both professional and amateur photographers. Now available in a fully revised version, this high-capacity ball head supports up to 17.6lbs, making it a versatile addition to your photography gear.

The ClassicBall 3 II features a genuine panorama panning base, complete with a 360-degree laser-engraved scale at the base of the housing. This unique design allows the ball head to be inverted, enabling precise leveling to prevent a sloped horizon during panoramic shots. An integrated bubble level further enhances the leveling accuracy, eliminating the need for tedious tripod or Quadropod leg adjustments.

The ClassicBall 3 II pairs seamlessly with the new MonoLite tilt head, transforming it into a two-way tilt head with smooth, effortless movements. This ball head also boasts three vertical 90-degree openings for the ball neck, a feature that significantly expands the vertical adjustment range. This allows your camera to smoothly swing through 180 degrees vertically without compromising stability.

The new Advanced Friction Control (AFC) system is a standout feature of the ClassicBall 3 II. This system allows for precise, repeatable friction presets, eliminating the need for constant adjustments. The AFC system ensures that the ball position remains unchanged during locking, a critical feature for macro photography where maintaining shot settings is paramount.

The ClassicBall 3 II is not just functional, but also aesthetically pleasing with its understated matte titanium finish. This all-metal design, enhanced with advanced polymer materials, is a testament to NOVOFLEX's commitment to quality and durability. Manufactured entirely at the company's plant in Memmingen, Germany, the ClassicBall 3 II is a high-precision instrument built to last.

The ClassicBall 3 II also offers integrated 360-degree panning and two camera threads (1/4" and 3/8"), ensuring compatibility with a wide range of cameras. The ball support is permanently grease-free, and all adjusting elements are designed for easy operation, even under challenging conditions.

In conclusion, the NOVOFLEX ClassicBall 3 II Ball Head is a testament to practical design and deep understanding of the challenges faced by photographers. Its high stability, excellent resistance to vibration, and advanced features make it an indispensable tool for any photography enthusiast.
