- One Locking Lever for All Movement
The BA-108 Single Lever Ball Head from Oben is a simple ball head with one locking knob to control all motion. The knob allows you to unlock the ball so that you can quickly orient your camera properly, retighten the knob, and return to shooting. This enables fast setup changes, and frees you to keep a finger on the trigger while you're making a quick adjustment to the head's orientation. The head has a 90° notch which facilitates shooting in portrait orientation. One bull's eye and three tubular bubble levels ensure your camera is level on both the horizontal and vertical axes.

Does this allow for camera rotation? More ...
Does this allow for camera rotation? More specifically forward and backward (up & down)?
When a camera is mounted on the Oben BA-108 Single Lever Ball Head, the head will allow a camera to rotate for still photos. It would not work as well for video.

question
Can I use this unit with the Benro A38FD Series 3 Aluminum Monopod with 3-Leg Locking Base without the reducing bushing? Or must I buy the bushing?
You don't need to purchase a reducer bushing, as the Benro A38FD has both 3/8 and 1/4 head mounts.

question
what is difference between 108 and 108T? Description notes T=travel head but are they not the same specs? Secondly, the included photographs do not show the bottom of the head accepted screws that appear in the collars for various Oben tripods and monopods. Do all Oben heads have those screws for added stability or only some?
The BA-108T is almost the same but has a thinner profile. This can be very good if the tripod you are attaching this to has a small base.The BA108T maximum diameter is 1.3 (3.3cm) and the BA108 has a maximum diameter of 1.5 (3.8cm).
