Tripod Ball Head HAMA 00005000, 1/4 inch Thread, 38 mm Height, Black

HAMA 00005000 is a compact tripod ball head with a 1/4" mounting thread, 38 mm height and a lightweight construction of 36 g. It is designed for quick camera positioning and smooth angle adjustments, providing stable support for small cameras, action cameras and accessories that use the standard 1/4" connection. The black finish and 20 mm diameter make it a discreet addition to travel and compact tripod setups.

Advantages

The ball head allows fast switching between portrait and landscape orientation and enables fine-tuned angle adjustments with a single locking mechanism. Its small dimensions and low weight make it convenient for travel and lightweight rigs while the standard 1/4" screw and base thread ensure compatibility with a wide range of cameras and accessories.

Suitable for

• Compact cameras and mirrorless cameras with 1/4" mounting
• Action cameras and small camcorders
• Accessory mounting (LED lights, microphones, small monitors) with 1/4" threads
• Lightweight travel tripods and tabletop tripods

When it may not be suitable

Due to its small size and light weight, this ball head is not intended for heavy professional camera bodies with long telephoto lenses or heavy rigs that require high load capacity. It is optimized for lightweight equipment and may not provide sufficient stability under considerable load or in strong wind.

How to use
