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.

weight compensation

yes, built-in spring balance for tilt movement

World's only spring balanced multifunctional ballhead.

The patented double ball system unites the three functions in one device, of which the outer ball has two functions.

First it works as a classic, low profile ballhead, confined in a teflon filled high quality plastic sleeve, which provide you the stickless motion and adjustable tension.

When you use the inner ball, the outer ball has another function, it provides you a level plane for the pan and tilt motion of the inner ball. The level plane can be set with a precision bubble level with a very high accuracy.

The motion of the inner ball is limited to two axis, works as a two-way head, which you normally need for using your camera for landscapes, telephoto, sport photography, etc. Importantly, the weight of your camera is balanced by a patented spring mechanism, which is in a class by itself, the only spring balanced ballhead in the world, therefore it may truly replace your gimbal head.

The swiss style clamp was designed specifically for the Flexline ballheads, it is containing the adjustment mechanism of the inner ball, thereby makes possible to reduce the overall height of the unit. It makes possible to mount your camera the proper direction for the two-way head, either you are using a lensfoot or a cameraplate.
