The Impact Double Ball Joint Head with Camera Platform Kit was put together by B&H to offer photographers and videographers a camera support option to a traditional tripod.
The Camera Platform has two 5/8" receivers for the head or other accessory with a matching stud. A 1/4"-20 threaded camera stud is pre-installed. The head has two 5/8" studs that can be tilted +/- 180 degrees rotated 360 degrees. One stud has a 1/4"-20 tap and the other a 3/8"-16 tap for stands and accessories that have matching screws. The studs fit into a wide variety of grip gear with 5/8" receivers. Separate purchase of an Impact Super Clamp (IMCC106R), for instance, will allow you mount to supports and poles from 0.5 - 2.1" thick. Once in position you can lock the head into place with its large ratcheting handle. The system will support cameras up to 5 lb.
The Impact Double Ball Joint Head is an handy accessory for mounting lights or other gear in various situations where space and weight concerns are paramount. With an optional super clamp (Impact CC-106R) and camera platform (Impact BHE-104) you can mount a DSLR or video camera weighing up to 5.5 lb, on a pole or other support.
The Impact BHE-104 Camera Platform for Flex Arm supports lightweight cameras when used on equipment such as the Impact Flex Arm or a similar accessory. The platform features a captive, sliding 1/4"-20 camera screw and a nonslip surface. There are two 5/8" receivers for the arm or a stud.
