The BH-40 Ball Head with Full-Size Screw-Knob Clamp from Really Right Stuff is a 16.1 oz mid-sized ball head that will support camera-lens combinations weighing up to 18 lb. Crafted from aluminum and stainless steel, the BH-40 has all of the features you'd expect from a professional-level head. An over-sized, ergonomic locking T-knob allows 45-degree tilting in all directions and a 90-degree drop-notch facilitates quick and accurate switching from the horizontal landscape position to vertical portrait orientation. A separate tension knob is provided to apply the appropriate pressure that safely corresponds to the weight of your camera. A third knob loosens and locks the panning base which is laser-engraved with markers every 2.5 degrees from 0 to 360 degrees.

Will this Ball Head mount to a Manfrotto Tripod?
Asked by: David
It sure looks like it would mount to my Gitzo, and I had a old Bogen head on that for a long time. The only Manfrotto I have is a lightweight, but the mount looks the same.

Will the screw knob interfere with a fold down lcd screen on the D850?
Asked by: Anthony
Sorry, I do not know the answer to that question. I have the Z6 & Z7 and their screens bend down at about a 45 degree angle and that does not interfere with the screw-knob. Hope that helps --- Jim

How much turning is required to open/close the clamp of the screw-knob version?
Asked by: Richard
Not a whole lot. Maybe 2 full turns if you drop the plate from the top. Less so if you slide the plate from the side. All depends. But the security of the screw knob gives me comfort and peace of mind.

question

Is anyone using this on a Gitzo GT2545T(Series 2 Traveler)? Or too big for the tripod?
Asked by: Masako M.
If you are serious about photography, this is a very good ball head. I like it very much. Of course, when you are searching this ball head, I assume you have a good tripod too, not something wobbly cost $100 level
