The 484 features a strong die-cast construction, precision machined aluminum housing, and an extremely hard phenolic resin ball which provides smoother movements across all tilt positions. It has a single indexed ratchet locking knob for 360° pan and a double groove for +90°-90° tilt movements.

All ball heads fit any Bogen tripod, or any tripod with 3/8"-16 (Euro) thread.

This head is perfect for 35mm SLR cameras with medium lenses, and light medium format cameras.
