With a 2 kg load capacity in a body that stands just 5.5 cm tall and weighs a mere 0.1 kg, the Manfrotto MHMINIBALL Micro Ball Head delivers rock-solid support for compact cameras, action cams, and lightweight mirrorless setups. Its aluminum construction and precision ball mechanism ensure smooth, stable positioning wherever you shoot.

Overview

The MHMINIBALL is a micro ball head engineered for photographers who need dependable support without the bulk. A single locking knob controls all movement, allowing you to adjust framing quickly and securely. The head pans a full 360° and tilts ±90° on both front and lateral axes, giving you complete freedom to compose in any orientation. A fixed 1/4" male screw mounts directly onto your camera, while the 1/4" female base thread attaches to tripods, monopods, or sliders with standard studs.
