Platyball Traveler Professional Ball Head, 15 lb Capacity, 360 Pan, Arca Compatible, with Quick Release Plate.

The Platyball Traveler is a revolutionary professional ball head that combines compact design with impressive functionality. At just 9.7 ounces, this lightweight yet robust head can support up to 15 pounds of gear, making it ideal for both lightweight travel setups and professional equipment. Standing 2.75 inches tall, it features a unique ball-locking lever that can be repositioned for optimal access regardless of orientation. The head includes precise controls with a dedicated panning lock knob and Arca-type clamp system. Its thoughtful design incorporates multiple indicators including millimeter-marked clamp slides, a bubble level, and 360-degree panning markers in 5-degree increments.

The included Arca-compatible quick-release disc doubles as a leveling aid and adapter. The 3/8"-16 female socket (with included 1/4"-20 adapter bushing) ensures compatibility with professional tripods and Platypod systems. The 90-degree ball notch rotation provides extensive positioning flexibility, making this ball head a versatile choice for photographers who demand precision and reliability in a compact package. The included Platypod disc ($ 18.50 value) with its bubble indicator is used for leveling a Platypod in critical applications such as astrophotography and precise horizontal panning. It is also a fully Arca compatible quick release plate and 3/8 to 1/4 adapter.
