3 Legged Thing AirHed 1 Magnesium Alloy Ball Head (Blue)
The 3 Legged Thing AirHed 1 Magnesium Alloy Ball Head (Blue) is a stylish head for a DSLR or film camera that encourages precise adjustments and fast setup changes. Composed of an aircraft-grade T6061 magnesium alloy, the sturdy head supports loads up to 17.6 lb, so it's suitable for all cameras and most lenses.
The AH1 head features a robust knurled knob that operates the Arca-style quick-release clamp. Additional knurled knobs manipulate the ball head's pan lock and ball/tilt lock. The pan-lock knob features an inset tension control that affects the play of the ball's movement.
The included quick-release plate, also magnesium, is compatible with BlackRapid's R-Strap camera slings, by way of its FastenR-T1 camera screw. The 1/4"-20 camera screw's flip-up D-ring allows you to tighten it to your camera easily. This ring allows you to attach your camera to an R-Strap and quickly move it from around your neck or shoulder to the AirHed 1 without removing the sling.
- Double bubble on the rear of the quick-release assembly for precise leveling
- 90° slot for portrait orientation

Comments about 3 Legged Thing AirHed 1 Magnesium Alloy Ball Head (Blue):
I originally tried to use my other ball head (Sunwayfoto) on the 3LT Eric tripod and while it worked fine, it kept the tripod from collapsing into the quiver easily. So I went for this head and I'm glad I did. It's more lightweight and fits perfectly for collapsing. If you haven't seen how the 3LT tripods collapse you should. Best travel tripod you could buy.
