The MBH-11 Dual-Action Mini Ball Head from Oben is a compact ball head suitable for most tabletop tripods, mini tripods, and monopods. This rugged, all-metal ball head incorporates many features found on larger heads, making it a versatile tool for composing images with everything from webcams, smartphones, mirrorless cameras, up to full-size DSLR cameras. Independent locking knobs offer 360° panning and 90° tilt, making camera positioning effortless, while providing a secure platform for cameras and lenses weighing up to 11 pounds. The panoramic base provides precise horizontal camera positioning for wide-angle shots and locks independently from the ball movement. The MBH-11 is outfitted with an Arca-compatible quick release plate for rapid camera mounting and swapping. It is compatible with many Arca-style quick release plates, camera brackets, and other accessories.

The industry-standard 3/8"-16 threaded socket is compatible with most tripods. The MBH-11 may be mounted to any tripod that provides interchangeable head functionality, from a tabletop-style to a full-size tripod. The included 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 adapter allows it to also be mounted on compact tripods and select monopods.

The Arca-type quick release plate lets you attach your camera to the head quickly and effortlessly. The plate's standard 1/4-20 mounting screw is compatible with most DSLR, point-and-shoot, and video cameras.
