The SLIK SBH-120 DQ compact ball head is excellent for monopods and lightweight tripods. A single lever locks and releases the ball so the camera is capable of being positions at almost any angle then locked into place. This all-metal ball head features a small, low profile quick release plate. This can be used with lightweight digital SLRs, video cameras and point-and-shoot cameras. The 6252 quick release plate is compact enough to be left on the camera at all times without getting in the way.
