Novoflex MagicBall Overview

A marvel of innovation. You have instant access to 85% of a sphere, making this far and away the quickest to position ballhead. There is no vertical notch necessary. The surface is coated with a scratch-resistant, smooth shell which reduces vibration transmission while allowing the user to move the gear with ease and expedience. There is no independent panning capacity, however this can be solved by using the Novoflex Universal Panorama Plate. Together these two pieces provide quicker use than all other ballheads. This will hold the biggest of medium format equipment as well as supertelephoto lenses.

Solid as a Rock

Novoflex makes great products, very well machined, beautiful, novel. The idea of this full size MagicBall is great and in use couldn't be better. Whatever I put on this ballhead it is rock solid. When pressing the shutter on a tripod mounted camera there is slight shake introduced, the solid nature of this head reduces shake to a minimum and subsides within a 1/2 second, plenty of time is left with a 2 second self-timer to get optimum results.

Can it fit on bento theta tripod?

Asked by: Tamar
Yes, you can remove the head of the Benro Theta Self-Leveling Carbon Fiber Lightweight Travel Tripod and replace it with the Novoflex Magic Ball with Socket Head. The tripod uses a standard 3/8" mounting thread, allowing you to replace the original ball head with another compatible head if desired.
