RRS BH-30

Having already owning the BH-55 this BH-30 was everything I was hoping coming from RRS. Much lighter for hiking but robust enough to easily handle a Nikon D850 + 24-70 2.8 lens and even 70-200 2.8 with no hassle. Very secure. Product received just as advertised from Adorama. Packaged well and on time. I recommend this to any avid photographer.

Compact, yet sturdy

This is a well-made head that is compact, yet sturdy. Most importantly, it is made in the U.S.A. Given the quality and high reputation of Really Right Stuff, I was surprised that the plate that holds the camera was slightly loose. I had to tighten it down with a hex wrench which solved the problem. I know that this was an anomaly and not representative of the heads. I do not hesitate to recommend RRS products.

Great quality and very precise in operation

Only issues are that it gets scratched very easily and that the closing clamp is a bit too stiff for my liking.

Enhance your photography experience with the BH-30 Ball Head with Mini Screw-Knob Clamp from Really Right Stuff. This high-quality, durable ball head is designed to provide fast, accurate control and solid support for your camera or lens, making it an ideal choice for all types of photography.

The BH-30 Ball Head is equipped with a quick release feature, allowing for easy attachment and detachment of your camera. With a maximum load capacity of 15 lbs, it's versatile enough to accommodate a wide range of cameras and equipment.

Aiming and horizon leveling can be achieved in one instinctive motion, while rigid lockup requires just a quick twist of one control. This makes the BH-30 Ball Head faster to use and inherently more stable than traditional 3-axis pan-tilt tripod heads.

The compact profile of the BH-30 Ball Head, devoid of protruding handles, makes it easier to carry and pack, making it a reliable companion for backpacking, travel, and table-top use. It also excels as a ground-level macro tool, offering robust capacity with minimal weight.

The BH-30 Ball Head comes packed in its own padded Cordura protective draw-string pouch. This pouch can be used to cover and protect the ball head when mounted to the tripod, for carrying the ball head in your carry-on luggage when traveling, or when the ball head and tripod are strapped to a photo backpack.

Made in the U.S.A by Really Right Stuff, a brand renowned for its high-quality and sturdy products, the BH-30 Ball Head with Mini Screw-Knob Clamp is a testament to the brand's reputation for producing reliable and versatile photography equipment.
