Product Description

Manufacturer Description

The Bogen NGEH2 heads are simply the most advanced ball heads in the world, incorporating the innovative hydrostatic locking system to produce an absolute rock-solid lock with the small turn of a knob. Using hydraulics instead of a mechanical approach produces a super-tight lock with minimal amounts of knob turning. The effect produced is a smooth moving ball, but when locked, essentially becomes a solid part with the head. These revolutionary heads use the latest materials for silky smooth operation and its magnesium shell produces feather light weight. Ideal for photographers using large telephoto lenses, the NGEH2 is easy to operate, with a newly designed large ergonomic handle with precise friction adjustment. A rubber bellows system prevents dirt and debris from entering the ball area ensuring problem-free photography even in the most extreme locations.

Sliding quick release system is supplied with 1/4-20" and 3/8" camera-fixing screws for use with heavy telephoto lenses.

• Independent pan lock for 360-degree movement.
• Independent tilt lock allows +90/-90-degree tilt movement.
• Calibrated, adjustable friction control for stability.
• Use the sliding quick release to position the camera in different ways.
