How to use

Attach the BALL 30 to your tripod or quick-release base by selecting the appropriate thread (1/4" or 3/8") and screwing the head securely into place. Mount your camera or quick-release plate to the top of the head and use the ball locking mechanism to set the desired angle and tension.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the BALL 30 with compact, mirrorless or small DSLR systems and lightweight lenses. Periodically check and, if necessary, tighten the mounting threads; avoid over-tightening which can damage threads or plates. Keep the head clean and free of grit; lubricate moving surfaces only with manufacturer-approved products if required.
