To make use of the panorama function the ball head is being turned upside down thus allowing a 100% accurate leveling to avoid a sloped horizon while doing panorama shots. To support the leveling, the CB5 II comes with an integrated bubble level. The necessity to lengthen and shorten the legs of your tripod\/Quadropod to adjust no longer exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree vertical 90° openings for the ball neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAFC (advanced friction control) system for precisely repeatable and defined friction preset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo more fumbling for friction, locking and panning knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsolutely no change of ball position during locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne glance at the Classic Ball, with its understated matte titanium finish, and it's clear that this is a high-precision instrument made to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn line with Novoflex's well-known product policy, the Classic Ball is an all-metal design incorporating advanced polymer materials.\u003cbr\u003eAs with other Novoflex products, the Classic Ball was developed and is manufactured entirely at the company's plant in Memmingen, Germany.\u003cbr\u003eThe Classic Ball has three 90° openings to take the ball neck that significantly increase the vertical adjustment range of the head. The camera can swing smoothly through 180° vertically. Equally important is that having three 90° openings\u003cbr\u003ehas been achieved with no loss of stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking on the Classic Ball, Novoflex development engineers aimed first and foremost to meet photographers' requirement for a precisely\u003cbr\u003econtrollable and repeatable friction adjustment (braking) for the ball. The result was the AFC (advanced friction adjustment). Integrated here\u003cbr\u003efor the first time, AFC allows photographers to set the friction on a setting ring in the center of the ball head. In other words, they can set the\u003cbr\u003ecorrect braking rate of the ball even before he attaches camera and lens. This is finally the end of trial and error adjustment. Getting the right\u003cbr\u003esetting is now child's play, even with weighty telephoto lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to other ball heads of this type, the Classic Ball makes it possible to lock the ball in position without any risk of even a slight shift in\u003cbr\u003eposition. This feature comes into its own in macro photography where it is essential not to disturb the setting of a shot.\u003cbr\u003eAs one would expect from a product of this caliber, the Classic Ball provides integrated 360° panning and two camera threads (1\/4\" and 3\/8\").\u003cbr\u003eThe ball support is permanently grease-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll adjusting elements have been optimized for easy operation even under very difficult conditions. Photographers working in very low\u003cbr\u003etemperatures, for example, can set and check all functions reliably without removing their gloves.\u003cbr\u003eIn designing the Classic Ball, Novoflex engineers drew on practical experience and their deep knowledge of the problems encountered by\u003cbr\u003eprofessional photographers in their daily work. The company has gone to great lengths to achieve high stability and excellent resistance to\u003cbr\u003evibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eTechnical specifications:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 4.6\" \/ 117.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase diameter: 3.07\" \/ 78 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamera-mount diameter: 2.3\" \/ 59 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.1 lbs \/ 970 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupport: 26 lbs \/ 12 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTripod connection: 1\/4\" and 3\/8\" thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamera connection: 1\/4\" and 3\/8\" thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Novoflex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60036063199557,"sku":"824320","price":499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2409\/4277\/files\/824320_00_1920x1920_708bc276-9da0-42c4-a4a6-ba30562bef27.jpg?v=1793631353","url":"https:\/\/hdewcameras.co.uk\/products\/novoflex-classic-ball-5-ii","provider":"HDEW Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
