SLIK SBH-60 Overview

This compact, lightweight ballhead is ideal for any point-and-shoot digital or film camera. The head features an easy to use single-lever release that locks the camera into place with one single action. Differing itself from many inexpensive ball heads on the market, the base of this head can rotate in addition to the ball movement. This makes horizontal movement of the camera much faster and easier.

All-metal construction
Compact and lightweight
Panning base
Base diameter of 0.95" (24mm)
Camera platform diameter of 1.3" (33mm)
Speedy Attachment Without a Quick Release's Additional Weight
Just 3 or 4 half-turns of the mounting platform attaches the camera to the ballhead, and the underside of the platform is ergonomically designed to aide in this task.  Slik's solution here is slightly slower than snap-in and at least as fast as 'vise grip' quick release assemblies, but eliminates their size, weight and cost.

SLIK SBH-60 Reviews

This little thing makes my life better

Tiny but mighty! About the size of your thumb. Tough, all metal construction. Light 1/8 turn of the knob is all that's needed to lock the ball solidly. Rotate and tilt in every direction. GoPro, phone, probably an SLR, whatever. I've been a fan of Slik since the 90s when I had a giant trigger ball for a giant VHS camcorder. In this photo, the phone clamp is not included.

Ok for the minet

Not for anything heavy, just a light off camera flash. Put my ice light knock off in it and it was too heavy...meaning where i positioned the ball head wouldn't stay.

See any errors on this page?

question

does it have a separate pan lock?
Asked by: corey
No, the SBH-60 Compact Ball head does NOT have a separate pan lock knob. The only current Slik ball head that has a separate pan lock knob is the SBH-808 DQ.http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1029590-REG/slik_618_758_pro_700bhx_with_sbh_808dq.html
