FLEXSHOOTER Mini (Silver Edition) with screw clamp silver anodized

FLEXSHOOTER Mini (Silver Edition) – The Versatile All-Rounder

Discover the FLEXSHOOTER Mini (Silver Edition) with screw clamp, silver anodized. This lightweight at only 0.499 kg offers a maximum load capacity of 9.5 kg, making it the ideal companion for your photographic adventures. Its innovative ball-in-ball design allows for precise alignment of your camera-lens combinations up to 3 kg.

Function Principle of the Ball-in-Ball Design in Detail

The unique ball-in-ball design of the FLEXSHOOTER Mini ensures exceptional stability and precision. The outer ball is housed in a plastic insert, allowing precise adjustment without sagging. This construction is extremely low-profile and optimized for demanding photographers.

Use as a Classic Ball Head

Use the FLEXSHOOTER Mini as a classic ball head to ensure maximum flexibility in aligning your camera. The bidirectional clamp allows for easy and secure attachment of your equipment.

Use as a Telephoto Tilt Head with Spring Balance

The FLEXSHOOTER Mini can also be used as a telephoto tilt head with spring balance. The built-in spring mechanism compensates for the tilt of the inner ball and ensures stable alignment, even with heavy telephoto lenses.

Use for Single-Row Panoramas

With its 360° panoramic axis, the FLEXSHOOTER Mini is perfect for single-row panoramas. A precise spirit level assists you in leveling, allowing you to effortlessly capture impressive panoramic images.

Compatibility and Easy Handling

The 38 mm dovetail cross clamp of the FLEXSHOOTER Mini is compatible with common dovetail systems such as Arca-Style, Really Right Stuff, Wimberley, Pro Media Gear, and Kirk. The screw clamp allows for easy coupling with cameras and lenses that have corresponding clamp profiles.

Robust and Durable

Made from anodized aluminum and stainless steel, the FLEXSHOOTER Mini offers high resistance and durability. The self-lubricating balls require no additional lubrication and are easy to clean with clear water.

Safety Instructions

Ensure that the used clamp profiles are at least 55 mm long and have safety stop screws on the bottom of the plate. Avoid tightening the tilt locking knob too tightly to ensure optimal clamping.

note

ATTENTION: locking clamp lever. If the outer ball is not clamped when the lever is in place, pull it out axially and turn it counterclockwise while idling. Re-engage the lever and then turn it clockwise.
ATTENTION: the 3/8" mounting thread is 8mm long, if screws longer than 8mm are screwed in, the ball will be damaged!
ATTENTION: the clamping profiles used should be at least 55mm long and preferably also have safety stop screws on the underside of the panel!
ATTENTION: the return spring of the inner ball is designed for operation with a load, so the tilt and pan mechanism only works as intended when the lens is mounted on the Flexshooter.
ATTENTION: the tilt locking knob must not be tightened too much! Optimum clamping takes place well before this.
