MH496-BH

For all photographers looking for a portable but powerful ball head, the 496 aluminum center ball head allows for easy and precise camera positioning. The 496 central ball head is ideal for anyone looking for a fast and reliable solution that helps to frame subjects accurately. This tripod head is made of highly resistant and lightweight aluminum, so it is both portable and strong enough to support a payload of up to 10 kg. It is the perfect solution for all types of mirrorless cameras with zoom lenses and even medium format DSLRs, ensuring stability and security. This advanced ball head combines practicality with high performance and features three independent controls that give it the versatility to adapt to any environment: a main ergonomic knob controls the ball lock, a friction control knob adjusts the ball tension in such a way that the weight of the equipment is always perfectly balanced; an independent panoramic knob keeps the horizon flat and moves the camera horizontally, allowing for amazing landscape shots. Framing with the new 496 is simpler and opens up unlimited options, so you can get any angle your mind can think of.

The 496 central ball head is fitted with a plate that makes it fully compatible with the most common standard plates in the world: Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-swiss. With this aluminum plate fixed to the camera, all the Manfrotto heads and almost all the tripod heads on the market with Arca-swiss type accessories can be installed quickly and effortlessly, without the need for disassembly components.
The design of the 496 central ball head greatly simplifies the installation and locking of the camera in any configuration.
