Manfrotto Rotule Ball centrée 494 (MH494-BH)

For all amateur photographers looking for a small but powerful ball head, the Aluminum 494 Ball Head ensures precise and fast positioning of your camera. Both light and compact, the 494 Centered Ball Head is perfect for anyone looking for a quick and easy solution to precise framing. This lightweight and durable aluminum ball head offers extreme portability while being able to support a load of 8 kilos. It is therefore the perfect solution for your mirrorless cameras with a zoom and even for your mid-size digital SLRs. It has three independent control systems: a main locking handle for precise adjustments, a locking handle in which the friction control has been integrated: a mechanism allowing a smooth and perfectly balanced movement without any effort on your part, and a locking handle independent of the pan movement.

The 494 Centered Ball Head is supplied with a universal chainring compatible with all standard video trays most widely used in the world such as Manfrotto RC2 trays or Arca-swiss style trays. Thanks to this aluminum plate attached to the camera, all Manfrotto ball heads as well as almost all tripod ball heads on the market equipped with an Arca-swiss style connector can be fitted quickly and effortlessly, without need to disassemble the parts.
