JOBY BallHead 3K PRO (Black/Charcoal/Red)

The BallHead 3K PRO from Joby is a 6.7-ounce, 3"-tall compact support that is Arca-type compatible, and it is ideal to use with smaller mirrorless cameras because of its smaller footprint. The ball head can support strobes, mics, and other photo and video accessories, and it can be mounted via its 1/4"-20 socket onto a bracket or rig. The single locking knob controls both the 90° tilt and the 360° rotation. The black, charcoal, and red colors of the BallHead 3K Pro match the GorillaPod 3K PRO Stand to create an optimal kit.

The legs' ball-and-socket construction can wrap and grip securely around pipes, rails, and tree branches for a unique angle while capturing video or photo. At the same time, the stand holds its position on a flat surface, and you can fold it to a length of 9" to use it as a grip for a small digital/video camera. The black and charcoal colors of the stand match the BallHead 3K PRO, which can mount to the stand via its 1/4"-20 mount, to create an optimal kit.

JOBY 3K PRO Reviews

Great for Film and Photography on the Go

By Michael
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2022-06-09

Works great, and I particularly appreciate the sturdy feel of the metal with our gear. It unlocks some really dynamic camera placement in a variety of situations without the weight/size of a full tripod.

Definitely worth the upgrade to PRO kit

By Benjamin

I experimented with another (non pro) GorillaPod model before exchanging it to upgrade to the PRO model, and I am not at all disappointed with that decision. The upgraded ball head, easy release mount, smooth pan, and sturdy construction are all abundantly improved over the base model I previously tried. The legs were a bit stiff to maneuver at first, but have gradually loosened a bit over time (though I hope it won't become TOO loose, as I've read in some reviews). This holds my mirrorless camera tightly with ease, even at awkward, seemingly precarious angles. I ESPECIALLY love this product when combined with MagSafe iPhone mount -- I can easily swap between my camera & phone in seconds. This would be 5 stars if it were a bit cheaper -- this costs almost as much as my Manfrotto 63 tripod which I feel is much more elevated in terms of quality & versatility, though of course there are very different use cases for the two devices. However, the ability to update this rig over time with add-ons is a very positive factor as well. Thankfully, B&H also bundled in a free Joby Beamo with my order ($60+ value), so in that way I'd say that this is more than worth the price tag (but keeping my review at 4 stars since I'm not positive that B&H will always include that bundled freebie in the future when someone else may be reading this review).

Psima calidad.

Compre este modelo y al poco uso se comenzaron a desprender partes de los brazos , logre que la marca me respondiera y me cambiara el producto , al tiempo de uso ocurri lo mismo. El uso solo ha sido solo con cmaras pequeas (Gopro), jamas le confiara el agarre de una cmara ms grande .

Good improvement over old versions

This is much stronger than my old Joby from years ago. The Arca Swiss clamp is beautiful, except that it takes a while to neuter the pop-up button that interferes with proper RRS Arca Swiss plates occasionally. Highly recommend for light carry to take pics in the dark.

Its not for heavy setup

AWESOME for Sony A7IV & Sony GM 16-35M Lens

By Chris
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2022-01-25

Was worried that it wouldn't hold my relatively heavy Sony A7IV & GM Lens but it does no problem. And is considerably smaller/lighter than the 5k version which is important as I almost always have the camera connected to the mount to take everywhere I go.

Is the accra swiss plate a standard accra swiss plate? I want to use my L-Bracket so that I can keep my camera over the tripod instead of to the side so it doesn't tip over.
Asked by: George
It is the width of a standard Arca-Swiss clamp but is rather small all around. I wouldn’t trust it with a large DLSR.

The joints are a hybrid of metal and plastic. The socket component of each ball joint is metal, while the inner ball component is made of ABS plastic.

I do macro photos of objects on the ground and want to see if this would allow the camera to be horizontal to the ground and low. The tip of my macro lens woud be about 1/2-1" above the object being photographed. Will this tripod do this?
Asked by: Art
It will; the bottom of the camera will be about 4" off the ground and it's lowest.

When I remove the small Arca-Swiss plate that ...

When I remove the small Arca-Swiss plate that comes with the Joby 3K Pro Kit, the remaining Arca-Swiss clamp on top of the Joby has a spring loaded pin that interferes with my A-S plates at the bottom of all my cameras/lenses. Can that pin be removed some how?
Asked by: Frank
I tried various tapes to hold that pin down flat. Scotch tape does not hold it, black electric tape neither, nor does black Gorilla tape. That tiny spring underneath wins every time after 24 hours of pushing the pin up. I simply sawed the top part of that pin off as it cannot be removed by itself. To do so, I used a table top big vise to fasten the Joby arca clamp in and took a hand held vise to keep the pin from freely moving or rotating and sawed along the bottom of that pin at all angles with a small sharp metal cutting handsaw blade for a couple of hours, day in, day out until there was almost nothing left in the center of that pesky pin. Then a few jerks and twists just ripped the top 1-2 mm of it off and it can no longer intrude with my various Arca plates (all from RRS). I now can center my lenses with ease by sliding the plates left and right on the Joby 3K with that needless 'irremovable' pin shortened enough to stay down in its 'hole'. Maybe Joby could alter its design for this to become easier ?

Yes, that knob that you see on the top above the red area that you see is a screw for an Accra Swiss L-Bracket so you can change between your tripod and this JOBY GorillaPod.
