The Sirui K-30X Ball Head (Black) is an extremely sturdy head with separate control knobs for pan, tilt, and tension, plus an Arca-style clamp for the included quick-release plate. The head tilts 90° for portrait orientation, and the quick-release plate features two pop-up pins that prevent camera twist when it's tilted 90°. There's also a video pin on the plate to keep camcorders from twisting.
The interior ball locking of the K-20x head has a sphere tolerance of 0.01mm, and it's equipped with an orientation-memory locking dial. This helps yield a high load capacity of 20kg. The quick-release clamp features a secondary release button that prevents any inadvertent disengagement of the camera/plate from the clamp, thereby adding to the head's overall security & stability. The Arca-style platform conforms to standard sizes, so you can use compatible plates from other manufacturers.
The K-30X is CNC-machined from an aircraft-grade aluminium alloy and anodized with an oxidation treatment that ensures a durable, high-quality finish.
All Sirui products come with a 6-year warranty.
Features:
- CAM Produced - Each assembled component of Sirui Ball Heads is produced by CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) - the ultimate in precision manufacturing techniques. This technique ensures that the support ball is produced with tolerances to within 0.01 mm of a perfect sphere.
- Aviation Grade Aluminium Alloy - Sirui ball heads are made of aviation quality aluminium alloy 7075-T6 and 6067-T6 for long life and maximum strength.
- Sirui Designed Dual Bevel Ball Head Locks - The interior locking system in Sirui Ball Heads uses SIRUI designed double bevel locks for superior locking performance and reliability. Most ball heads only use a single, less efficient interior locking system.
- Custom Anodized Surface Treatment - All Sirui products undergo a special anodized surface treatment that makes all metal surfaces highly resistant to wear and increases durability and weather resistance. Anodizing is an environmentally safe electrochemical process.
- Perfect levelling - Two bubble levels (horizontal and vertical) on the quick-release platform ensure that your framing hews to the horizon in either portrait or landscape orientation
- Fine control - The friction-control knob, integrated into the ball-locking knob, allows the operator to adjust the resistance of the ball's movement.
