Oben Ba-126 Single Lever Ball Head

Oben Ba-126 Single Lever Ball Head
  • Product Code: ga13838
  • Availability: In Stock

$239.85 $319.00

The BA-126 Single Lever Ball Head from Oben is a simple ball head with one locking knob to control all motion. The knob allows you to unlock the ball so that you can quickly orient your camera properly, retighten the knob, and return to shooting. This enables fast setup changes, and frees you to keep a finger on the trigger while you're making a quick adjustment to the head's orientation. The head has a 90° notch which facilitates shooting in portrait orientation. One bull's eye and three tubular bubble levels ensure your camera is level on both the horizontal and vertical axes.

The included quick-release plate has a retractable video pin, and attaches to your camera via its standard 1/4"-20 screw. With your camera attached to the quick-release plate, it easily snaps and locks into place on the ball head, and a safety lock on the release lever prevents it from being accidentally released.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this head be attached to a Small rig Selection T200 tripod?

A: Yes, the Oben BA-126 Single Lever Ball Head can mount on the SmallRig Selection T200 Tripod as these both use a 3/8"-16 mounting connection.

Q: 2. Would the Oben RP-10 base plate be interchangeable with a Giottos MH652 and vice versa?

A: No. The Oben RP-10 will not fit the the Giottos MH652. However, the RP-20 will fit:Oben RP-20 Quick Release PlateB&H # OBRP20 ? Mfr # RP-20

Q: 3. I purchased this head along with the tripod and I'm discovering that this really isn't a panning head is it? There is an index and a pointer but the camera drops if you loosen it enough to swivel. Maybe this isn't the right unit for me? Thanks for your help.

A: In general, no, ballheads are less useful for panning purposes. Panheads and fluid panheads are better for that application. If you would like an alternate recommendation, please send us an email to askbh@bhphoto.com and mention if you are wanting a head for photo usage or video work, and also please specify what camera/lenses you will be using with it so we can make sure the weight capacities are appropriate.

Q: 4. Will the Induro PU-50 plate fit on the Oben ball head?

A: You will need the Oben RB-10 plate for the BA-108 ballhead.

Q: 5. Can I change the pan head out for this on my Oben AG 1451 tripod?????

A: As long as the pan head you purchase has a 3/8"-16 female tripod socket on the base of the pan head, yes, it would be compatible for use with the Oben AC-1451 4-Section Aluminum Tripod.

Q: 6. I am thinking of buying this unit and connecting it toa Giottos QU 305B U-Pod Mini Tripod. Do I need to purchase a OBEN 3/8-16 to 1/4-20 reducer so I can attach the units together?

A: Yes. You would need a reducer bushing for those two components to fit together. Oben 3/8 -16 to 1/4 -20 Reducer BushingB&H # OB1039 ? Mfr # OB-1039

Q: 7. What is the diameter of the base? I want a 6cm base.

A: The base of this head is 5cm. Go with the BA-126, that has a 5.8cm base. Click on the link to view; https://bhpho.to/2vvx2RX

Q: 8. Will this product work on a slider?

A: I do not know, I am not using slider

Q: 9. Is the QR planet an Arca-Swiss plate? Can you provide the size?

A: The QR plate for the Oben BA-126 Single Lever Ball Head is a specific Oben plate measuring about 50mm wide. We suggest Oben RP-20 Quick Release Plate for best compatibility. https://bhpho.to/3JIruaR

Q: 10. Are Oben ball heads compatible with Magnus TR-13 tripod?

A: Yes they are.

This is a very well made ball head and so much better than the head that came with my Three Legged Thing Tripod. Stays put when you lock it down unlike the stock head I have been using. I give the head 5 stars but give the shipping zero! I ordered on March 17th and FINALLY received it on April 5th! B & H used something called FedEx Super Saver Mailing Service, should be called the Super Slow boat to China Service.

I bought this ball head to go on my Platypod Max. It was listed in the DealZone at a really good discount. When I received it, I was amazed at its weight and sturdiness. Its maximum load is 26.4 lbs. I am used to having a few more adjustments knobs but this works out fine. I am glad I bought it.

I absolutely love this ball head, it requires very little tension to lock it down it will allow rotation of the base without affecting the ball, I have weak hand due to some medical conditions and the lever is easy to get a hold of. It's very well built for the price, would totally recommend.

The Oben BA-126 Ball Head is an excellent value when compared to other manufactures products which can be more than twice the price.


Quality is exceptional for the money spent.

Haven't had the opportunity to actually use it yet, but some initial observations: the unit is quite a bit heavier than the one it is replacing. Not a bad thing, much sturdier. The locking mechanism is very solid. The unit being replaced had a slight dip with a 300mm lens attached, not so with this unit. Will gladly follow up when there has been time to try it in the filed. Do not expect from first observations to be disappointed.

Very nice build quality. Smooth movement, and solid locking mechanism. Works perfectly on my Monfrotto 055 tripod.

Have been looking for a head for my Benro and this works perfectly. Use mostly with my 200-500 Nikon lenses, had the Gimbal but it did not feel secure as the BA126 Oben. I thank B & H lost money on this sale.
