The BH-55 Ball Head with Full-Size Lever-Release Clamp (Chrome) from Really Right Stuff is a 1.96 lb ball head that will support large camera/long lens combinations weighing up to 50 lb. Crafted from aluminum and stainless steel, the BH-55 has all of the features you'd expect from a professional-level head. An over-sized, ergonomic locking knob allows 45-degree tilting in all directions and dual 90-degree drop-notches facilitate 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.

question
My BH55 pan lock knob is stuck, and the base is unable to be locked into place. Is there a way to free the knob?
Mine came with the pan knob tightened by some someone who drinks WAY to much coffee. I wrapped the knob with a rag and used a pair of pliers to loosen it. Ended up with a small scratch on the knob. I donât really care about the scratch as, after a lot of use, itâs not the only self inflicted blemish on the head.

Physically the RRS BH-55 head can be attached to a Befree tripod. However, due to the smaller size of the Befree and the limited weight load, it would not be recommended.
