The 494 Center Ball Head with 200PL-PRO Quick Release Plate has a load capacity of 17.6 lb and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3 8 -16 mount. By loosening the head s primary locking knob, the ball-and-socket joint can be quickly swiveled, angled, fully tilted, or returned to its upright position. A recessed dial set within that locking knob can be rotated to apply tension control to the ball-and-socket joint s movements. Along the opposite side of the ball head, a secondary locking knob controls the ability to rotate the head 360°. Cameras or accessories that are compatible with a 1 4 -20 mount can be connected to the 200PL-PRO quick release plate, as well as 3 8 -16 threads via an included bushing adapter. The plate is also compatible with separately available tripod heads that feature an Arca-type clamp.
