The Platyball Elite Ball Head from Platypod has a different design than traditional ball heads. The Platyball Elite features an inverted design, with the panning turntable at the top rather than the bottom. It also has an electronic leveling indicator on the rear side. The LED-backlit indicator provides an unobstructed view during virtually any type of shot, and it displays everything clearly even at nighttime. The electronic indicator confirms horizontal accuracy even when the camera is tilted vertically. A 12V battery is included for powering this electronic aspect of the head.
