question

Will this ballhead fit the same QR plate that Joby makes for the Hybrid and SLR Zoom (it looks the same, just red coloured)?https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/621302-REG/Joby_BH1_01EN_BH1_01EN_Ballhead_for_the.htmlhttps://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1077490-REG/joby_jb00124_bubble_level_clip.html
Asked by: Eddy
Yes, the Joby Quick Release Plate for Gorillapod SLR included with the Joby Ball Head for Gorillapod SLR-Zoom would also be compatible for use with the Joby BallHead 3K.
