Earlier today we showed you the new Joby Magnetic Gorillapod which is designed to be used with compact digital cameras. Now, Joby has added another accessory to their range, although this one is designed to be used with full-sized DSLR cameras, the Ballhead X.
The Ballhead X is designed to be used with Joby’s Gorillapod Focus, which is a flexible tripod that can take DSLR cameras up to 5KG. The new accessory lets you easily pan, tilt, and rotate your camera in a wide range of positions, making it an essential tool for photographers who need versatility and stability in their shots.
Enhanced Flexibility and Precision
The Ballhead X offers full 360-degree panning and 90-degree tilt, allowing you to position your camera equipment at virtually any angle and capture portrait or landscape shots with ease. This level of flexibility is particularly useful for photographers who work in dynamic environments and need to quickly adjust their camera angles without compromising stability. Whether you’re shooting a fast-paced sports event or a serene landscape, the Ballhead X ensures that you can get the perfect shot every time.
Durability and Portability
The Ballhead X is made from precision-machined anodized aluminum, ensuring that it is both lightweight and durable. Weighing in at just nine ounces and measuring only 3.3 inches tall, it is incredibly portable, making it easy to carry around on your photography adventures. The compact size does not compromise its strength, as it can securely hold DSLR cameras weighing up to 5KG. This makes it an ideal accessory for professional photographers who need reliable equipment that can withstand the rigors of travel and outdoor shooting.
In addition to its robust construction, the Ballhead X features a quick-release plate that allows for fast and easy camera attachment and detachment. This is particularly useful for photographers who need to switch between different camera setups quickly. The quick-release plate is also compatible with other Joby products, adding to the versatility of your photography gear.
If you want one, the Ballhead X is available to pre-order for £69.95, about $107, from Joby, and it will ship in April 2010. This price point makes it an affordable addition to your photography toolkit, offering excellent value for the level of functionality and durability it provides.
The Ballhead X is a must-have accessory for any serious photographer using a DSLR camera. Its combination of flexibility, durability, and portability makes it an invaluable tool for capturing high-quality images in a variety of settings. Whether you’re a professional photographer or an enthusiastic hobbyist, the Ballhead X will enhance your ability to take stunning photos with ease.
