Ultimate Ball-Head by Acratech

The Ultimate Ball-Head is the choice of macro photographers who want a Ball-Head that has all of its range of motion at the front. Some photographers will use the Ultimate Ball-Head for general photography but, our other Ball-Heads are preferred because of their range of motion.

The difference between the Ultimate Ball-Head and other Ball=Heads is the angle of the clamps that hold the ball.  The Ultimate Ball Head clamps are at a 45-degree angle and other Ball Heads they are horizontal. The angle of the ball clamps affects the range of motion

You can also rotate the Ultimate Ball-Head 180 degrees and then the range of motion is from forwards to straight up which is excellent for night sky photography.

All Acratech Ball-Heads are designed to be lightweight and rugged for the active outdoor photographer. The open structure lets moisture, dirt and debris fall through instead of being trapped inside a socket. 

Available with our Arca Swiss style, knob or locking lever quick release clamp.

Camera quick release plates sold separately.  Find your camera or lens plate.
