Supporting equipment weighing up to 6.6 lb, the BallHead 3K from Joby uses a standard 1/4"-20 threaded screw to mount compatible DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and video lights. It features full 360° panning and 90° tilting for nearly unrestricted movement, complemented by a small bubble level to help you find the ideal position. For convenience, you can swiftly detach your gear from your tripod thanks to the quick release mounting plate of this ball head.

At only 5.1 oz and with a height of 2.8", the BallHead 3K is portable and can be easily carried without weighing you down. It is designed to be paired with the GorillaPod 3K stand and works with several Joby pro-level accessories that can extend the versatility of your ball head.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I use a standard ARCA plate (such as Peak Design) instead of the Joby supplied plate?

A: Yes, you can.

Q: 2. Which country is this made in?

A: This ball head is manufactured in China

Q: 3. Can I use the Joby Ultraplate on this ball head

A: Yes that plate will work on the Joby Ballhead X.

Q: 4. Will this Head fit on my Gorillapod Focus - Flexible MiniTripod?

A: Yes, it will work on the Gorillapod Focus.

Q: 5. Is the ballhead's groove the standard size in order to fit the common Arca Swiss plates, or is it proprietary?

A: The mounting plate for the quick release is Arca-compatible.

Q: 6. Will my Mefoto Arca Swiss quick release plate, like PU-60, be compatible on this ball head?

A: The overall shape of the PU-60 plate will be a little different from the Joby Ballhead X plate, but the locking mechanism should be secure. The X head has an extra feature: a small retracting pin to avoid accidental sliding which may or may not work as intended with other Arca style plates. However, since it retracts fully out of the way, it won't clash and cause an incompatibility.

Q: 7. What is the maximum lumens of a light? What is the runtime in hour on battery and what is the charging time?

A: JOBY Beamo Mini LED has a single LED outputs 1000 lumens at 5100K. The internal lithium battery last approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes. The unit takes 2 hours and 20 minutes to charge.

Q: 8. does it work with the SLR Zoom gorillapod?

A: Yes. Moreover, this ball head works with any tripod that can receive a ball head with 1/4 or 3/8 screw hole. The adaptor is included. Note that the Gorilla pods have a 1/4 screw.

Q: 9. What is the pan base diameter of this head?

A: Unfortunately, this information is not provided by the manufacturer.

Q: 10. Will this ballhead fit the same QR plate that Joby makes for the Hybrid and SLR Zoom (it looks the same, just red coloured)?https://a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/621302-REG/Joby_BH1_01EN_BH1_01EN_Ballhead_for_the.htmlhttps://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1077490-REG/joby_jb00124_bubble_level_clip.html target= _blank www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/621302-REG/Joby_BH1_01EN_BH1_01EN_Ballhead_for_the.htmlhttps://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1077490-REG/joby_jb00124_bubble_level_clip.html/a

Got 4 of them to use for some constant LED lights I have. I have not put much weight on them and as B&H likes to get these reviews right after you buy them I have not had much opportunity to use them yet. But still nothing bad has happened from them and they do what they advertise, so yay.

A solid build with a very firm hold while easy to adjust.
Would recommend. I'm using it to hold my Sony a7s on a boom arm at my desk.
