Ultimate Ballhead Reviews

Outdoor Photographer Magazine August, 2001

Article by William Sawalich. Ballheads are a luxurious landscape essential. Acratech's new Ultimate Ballhead weighs less than a pound and can support more than 25 pounds. The unique design features an exposed ball that's locked down with an angled clamp. It may look unorthodox but it works like a charm. And if you are concerned about dust, sand, grit or other contaminants, the open structure alleviates any potential problems. The head is compatible with quick release plates from several manufacturers. Visit Outdoor Photographer online >>

Shutterbug Magazine January 2002

Article by Bob Shell "Since weight is always a problem when working in the field , every once saved is a benefit. But he has sacrificed nothing it the process of reducing weight. The head is very sturdy and exceptionally smooth in its operation." Visit Shutterbug online >>

  "I am not sponsored by Acratech. I had to pay for this ball head the same as anyone else. And if I give up my hard – earned money, I want the product to work. I can say without reservation that this is some of the best money I have ever spent. I exclusively use the Acratech head in the field and am very glad I tried it."

  "The Ultimate Head is a tremendously fast and versatile head for portrait work, scenic work, and any other use where a lightweight head capable of handling most lenses in any situation is needed. Both are very lightweight at under 1 lb., and are beautifully machined."

"The rubberized knob I just received makes a great product even better. I currently have several other ballheads and am I selling them all. They do not compare to the Ultimate Ballhead. The more I use it the more it exceeds my expectations."
