Novoflex 3 II Overview

The ClassicBall 3 II Ball Head from Novoflex is a dual-purpose support which acts both as a standard ball head, and also as a leveling base for panoramic photography.

A matte titanium finish and an all-metal design blend both form and function, and three 90° notches add to the versatility of the ball head, allowing the camera to tilt 180° in three separate positions. Advanced Friction Control allows you to adjust the amount of tension on the ball by turning a center ring on the ball head. The grease-and-lubricant-free design prevents the ball and enclosure from attracting unwanted dust, dirt, and debris.

Three vertical 90° notches for the ball neck
AFC (Advanced Friction Control) system for precisely repeatable and defined friction preset
No change of ball position during locking, thanks to the design of the ball interior
Integrated 360° panning and 2 camera threads (1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16)
Matte titanium finish
All-metal design incorporating advanced polymer materials
Grease-free ball support

I paired this with a qbase quick release for my medium format camera. Holds everything securely, is a beautiful piece of engineering and machining. I can't say enough good about tus company. They respond to my queries right away. Exquisite products.

Worth it
