Really Right Stuff BH-40 Ball Head with Lever Release in perfect condition

Description

The
BH-40 Ball Head with Full-Size Lever-Release Clamp
from
Really Right Stuff
is a 17.1 oz mid-sized ball head that will support camera-lens combinations weighing up to 18 lb. Crafted from aluminum and stainless steel, the BH-40 has all of the features you'd expect from a professional-level head. An over-sized, ergonomic locking T-knob allows 45-degree tilting in all directions and a 90-degree drop-notch facilitates quick and accurate switching from the horizontal landscape position to vertical portrait orientation. A separate tension knob is provided to apply the appropriate pressure that safely corresponds to the weight of your camera. A third knob loosens and locks the panning base which is laser-engraved with markers every 2.5 degrees from 0 to 360 degrees.
This example was used by my wife for product photography in our studio.  It has never been outside, nor taken off her tripod, and it was seldom that the camera was removed, so it appears new in all aspects.  Coupled with a light carbon tripod, this would make a perfect platform for a landscape photographer or someone who needs a very stable capable mount that is lightweight for carry.  See my other listings for a tall Gitzo carbon fiber tripod that would make a good match for this head.
I consider RS heads to be the best there is.  This retails new for 5.  Buy now for only 0 with free shipping.  Includes original box and packaging, and soft cover
