Promediagear Bh1 Sputnik Arca-type Ball Head
- Product Code: ga77915
-
The 2 lb BH1 Sputnik Arca-Type Ball Head from ProMediaGear is a black anodized CNC-machined aluminum head with internal steel components. By disengaging the large main locking knob of the head, it allows you to move the ball unlike conventional ball heads. Because the head has a rotating slot, it permits you to move the clamp in any 90° multi-angle direction.
The 5.5" tall ball head rotates a full 360° via its independent pan lock, and it can hold camera equipment weighing up to 50 lb. The clamp tightens down onto the included PBX3 quick release plate with its aluminum screw knob mechanism, and the clamp is laser engraved with a millimeter scale to repeat a position of the quick release plate.
Load Capacity: 50 lb Height: 5.5" Weight: 2 lb Arca-Type Compatible Lock Knob Mechanism for Clamp 360° Pan with Independent Pan Lock Rotating Slot has 90° Multi-Angle Tilts CNC-Machined Aluminum and Steel Laser-Engraved Millimeter Scale on Clamp

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. A review by Lensvid (whoever they are} points out that the movement of the Bh1 could be smoother. I wonder if they mean it seems to stick . But on the other hand they do say it seemed to be better after using it. Is this the experience of others or is it likely they had a faulty copy. Can anyone shed some light on this concern?
A: All of the reviews we've seen of the ProMediaGear BH1 Sputnik Arca-Type Ball Head mention how smooth the movements are.
Q: 2. What is the minimum & maximum dimension of arca-style head opening? My camera's arca-style base is 38mm wide. I want to find out whether I can drop it off or I have to slide it in. Thank you.
A: the range is about 36-38.5mm. I have one plate that drops in and one that needs an ever so slight tilt.
Q: 3. Will the plate accommodate 3/8" mounting screws?
A: Yes, the ProMediaGear 8" Arca-Type double dovetail plate adapts to two 1/4-20 Mounting Screws and optional can accept two 3/8-16 screws.

Q: 7. Is this compatible with my manfrotto MT294A3 tripod and Nikon D3200 camera? Or is there an equivalent manfrotto ball head that is a better fit?Thanks
A: Yes, the BE-117 Ball head will fit fine on the Manfrotto MT294A3. And it will work fine with your Nikon D3200.
Q: 8. How can you convert the knob to a lever lock like Reallyrightstuff uses. I have the BH-55 and am thinking of a change?
A: The entire quick release clamp would need to be removed to have a lever lock clamp installed on it.
Q: 9. is this compatible with a platypod?
A: Yes, the Oben BE-117 Ball Head with Arca-Type Quick Release can be mounted on the Platypod Ultra Plate Camera Support and on the Platypod Max Camera Support.
Q: 10. What is the difference between the BE-117 and the BE-117T?
A: The T stands for travel. It has a slimmer profile that allows tripods with legs that fold and close in an upward position to close completely and not be blocked by the head.
