These tarmac green SHELL Mittens in size 9 from The Heat Company keep your vulnerable hands and fingers warm and protected from the elements. 

Made from windproof and highly water-resistant material, the mittens have goatskin leather palms that are not only tough and wear resistant, but provide a secure and slip-resistant grip. Each mitten is lined with warm and comfortable Primaloft Gold insulation. When you need to use your fingers to operate a camera, access your phone, check your stats on a sport watch, or perform any one of a thousand tasks, simply fold back the finger and thumb flaps to expose your digits. A magnetic clasp keeps the flap out of your way, so it won't interfere with what you're doing. For added protection without sacrificing dexterity, layer the mittens over a pair of optional liners.

An adjustable cinch at the wrist has straps that allow you to remove the mitten from your hand without having to put it down where it can get filled with snow or lost. Slip a disposable hand warmer into the small, zippered pocket on the back of the hand, or use it to stow small accessories like credit cards or your ID.

The size 9 mitten fits 7.9-8.8" hands, measured around the palm of your dominant hand just below the knuckles. The Heat Company recommends sizing up if you are in between sizes.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Has anyone compared this to the BH-30 with the compact lever-release clamp?

A: I have. I have both the full size and compact lever release clamps. Both are excellent. The full size is on my BH-50 (large head) and the compact clamp I got when I wanted a smaller ball head for travel. I tossed and turned on both clamps for a while, but very happy I went with the compact for the BH-30. For me, it made no sense to get the lager one when my aim was to reduce wait and be as compact as possible. It holds my 6D with 70-300L perfectly and I really don't miss the larger clamp.

Q: 2. Is the Arca plate included with the purchase of this ball head?

A: No the Quick Release Plates is Not Included

Q: 3. Will this ball head work with the Peak Design Capture plate?

A: Yes.

Q: 4. does compact lever work well with 70-200

A: Yes, Really Right Stuff BH-30 Ball Head with Full-Size Lever-Release Clamp would work perfect with your 70-200mm lens.

Q: 5. Does the lever in the lever release clamp have a safety switch so that I won't accidentally flip it open...??

A: I have read the other responses and agree with them all. Now for an engineering answer. The lever uses a design called an offset cam. The first 10-15 degrees of rotation require a lot of force. After that it becomes continually easier as the cam rotates increasing the lever arm length and the mechanical advantage. This feedback works in reverse when you close the head with the last few degrees of rotation being very hard. You know that the camera is locked without looking.

Q: 6. Will this be able to handle the EOS R5 with battery grip and the adapted EF 100-400mm lens?

Q: 7. If I order the RRS l-bracket, will I need to order a quick release plate as well, or does the l-bracket take the place of the QR plate?

Q: 9. Will this work with a Kirk bracket?

The clamping pressure and fit is same as the, RRS LCF-15 Foot for my, Nikon 200 f/2 VRII Lens. And consistent with the, RRS BD5-L: L Plate on my, Nikon D5.

Q: 10. Would this head be compatible with an Arca Swiss Kirk L bracket?
