Designed to support light to medium weight cameras, the Ball Head With 5/8" Receiver for Light Stand from Dot Line is a handy accessory that can turn your light stand into a tripod. Made of aluminum and stainless steel, the ball can be rotated 180 degrees and has a 90-degree notch in its wall for fast orientation into vertical or portrait mode. The head has a 5/8" (female) receiver that accepts a light stand's industry-standard 5/8" (male) stud. The head has a locking knob to secure the head to the stand, and an additional knob to adjust tension and lock the ball, as well as a 1/4"-20 camera screw.
