Simple, reliable, value, these three words sum up the SLIK Standard Ball Head-II but they do not address the high quality standards that are used to make this rugged ball head. Using precision machined aluminum components and advanced high impact polymers, the Standard Ball Head-II will yield years of trustworthy service. A large, circular mount area will give you camera the proper support while the free turning anti-scratch plate within the head will protect the bottom of your camera from damage and greatly reduce the likely hood that your camera could become jammed on the head. The perfectly sized release lever makes releg and locking the head in any position very convenient and easier to use than other ball heads having small release knobs which can be over tightened and make fine tension adjustments difficult.

Maximum recommended load is 5 pounds. Made of precision milled aluminum components and advance high impact polymers, the Standard Ball Head II is simple, reliable and inexpensive. SLIK's solution is slower than snap-in quick releases, and at least as fast as 'vise grip' quick release assemblies-but eliminates their size, weight and cost. Just 3 or 4 half-turns of the mounting platform attaches ballhead to camera, and the platform's underside is ergonomically designed specifically for this task. The locking lever, unlike round locking knobs, makes it blatantly apparent whether the ball is locked or unlocked; if it is pointing up, it is locked.
