The Impact Double Ball Joint Head with Super Clamp and 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 and 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 such as the included Impact Super Clamp that allows 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.
The Impact Super Clamp with Ratchet Handle is a versatile multigrip tool made of lightweight cast aluminum alloy. With a load capacity of 33 lb, it can hold a wide variety of items such as cameras, lights, umbrellas, hooks, shelves, plate glass, cross bars, and other Super Clamps.
The Super Clamp can be securely mounted on any tube or pipe from 0.5" to 2.1" and is supplied with a wedge insert for clamping onto flat surfaces. The ratchet handle allows you to disengage and tighten it down from any angle, a very handy feature when using the clamp in tight quarters that don't allow 360° rotation. A snap-in hex socket holds 5/8" accessories such as the supplied hex stud with 1/4"-20 screw.
