The Acratech Ultimate Ballhead is the result of innovative efficient design, created for combining low mass with incredible stopping power. Available with or without an installed Arca-type quick release clamp, it is an ideal head for those that do not require the progressive tension control of the heavier (and more expensive) Arca-Swiss B1.
The innovative design of the Acratech gives the photographer full access to 25% of a sphere at any time, and it is entirely capable of providing support in any direction so long as the tripod legs are not overwhelmed.
Model #1131 features rubber knobs, on the left side of the head. Also features an Arca-type quick release system with a safety detent pin that acts as an extra safeguard should the clamp open accidentally.
A quick release plate is not included, and Acratech offers a range of camera-specific plates, as well as a generic plate. Or can be used with any "Arca-Swiss type" plate, available from Arca-Swiss, Foba, NPC, Novoflex & Wimberley.
This version of the V2 includes a built-in spirit level aiding in tripod and camera alignment.
Note! Quick release plate not included.

- Absolutely no migration after tightening the clamp

Comments about Acratech Ultimate Ballhead:
This lightweight ballhead is precision engineered, and very stable for most uses, except the longest and heaviest telephoto lenses. The open construction is brilliant, the ball is easy to clean if it should be contaminated with sand or dirt. An excellent head for travel and hiking. The rubber knobs ensures a good grip on the controls.
