## Description

Product Description The XPRO Ball Head features technical solutions and standout design, for unrivalled precision and performance. It makes you feel completely secure, even when using high-end, heavy camera gear. With a brand triple locking system, the XPRO Ball Head guarantees camera position stability. Avoiding drift, thanks to three wedges that enclose and block the sphere, you will capture shake-free shots every single time.Friction control helps you balance the weight of camera equipment. And thanks to the two levelling bubbles, fine adjustments can be made with the locking knobs open. Plus, its polymer rings have done away with that unpleasant, messy grease - ensuring smooth and accurate camera movement. This product is also portable. With a magnesium body, it is lightweight and reliable: Weighing in at only 0.52 kg while supporting up to 15 kg of payload. For swifter and easier setup the camera is inserted from above, rather than from the side. And it is safer too. When the plate engages with the clamp, it releases a safety mechanism to keep your camera from falling. The XPRO Ball Head comes with Top Lock, the Arca-Swiss compatible MSQ6PL plate - a solution compared to other Arca-Swiss style adapters. Base Type : 45 mm, Base Diameter : 60 mm Top Attachment : 0.635 cm screw, 0.9525 cm thread female Top Attachment : 0.635 cm screw, 0.9525 cm thread female Box Contains Manfrotto XPRO Ball Head wit Top Lock - MHXPRO-BHQ6

Review: Another great Manfrotto ball head! - Deciding to update my long-time ball-head, I looked at various alternatives. However, I kept coming back to Manfrotto. I wanted to switch up my system with an L-bracket for my camera, and needed an Arca-Swiss style head to be able to accommodate this change. This new Manfrotto head is lovely.. Lighter than my previous one, and very secure when tightened, it feels great to use when I'm out landscaping. The adjustment now possible for the friction on the head while it is unlocked is very useful, meaning you can set the friction level to suit your hands and movements then easily tighten everything back up with one twist of the main lever. I'm delighted with it - it's another quality head from Manfrotto, and at a very competitive price point for an Arca Swiss compatible clamp.
Review: Excellent ball head - A well made and compact piece of equipment. All movements are fluid and the locking levers are substantial and work well. The bubble levels are well placed and make life so much easier. I am using it with a Canon 5D4 and it carries that well. I haven't used it with my Rolleiflex 2.8C yet so can't comment on its medium format performance. Has replaced a Kennet 3-way pan and tilt head dating from the mid 80's and the 200PL is a god send compared to the struggle with fixing a camera to the Kennet and its fustrating screws and lock nut design. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great Manfrotto ball head!
*by N***E on 8 February 2017*

*by P***S on 1 July 2021*

A well made and compact piece of equipment. All movements are fluid and the locking levers are substantial and work well. The bubble levels are well placed and make life so much easier.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable and easy to use, some plastic parts would be better metal
*by M***T on 14 November 2018*

The main body is built like a tank and the friction and release controls are great - little chance of your camera dropping sideways unless you really loosen everything. When mine arrived, I had to tighten the camera mount to the ball using a hex key, which was no big deal but something to check when yours arrives. Note that the dials are plastic. That's probably not at huge risk of failure but the plastic parts of the locking mechanism don't feel quite as sturdy as the rest of the head. That said, it works well and I think should take some fairly heavy use. It's rated up to 10kg so most users won't test it to its limits. However, one or two extra parts in metal wouldn't go amiss for the price. I also note that extra 200PL release plates are around £15 at the time of writing and third party versions are available, so that doesn't break the bank if you want to switch bodies or leave plates on the mounting collars of big lenses.
