Description

The Explorer EX-L Epic Explorer Large Ball Head is the perfect lightweight ball head comprising of a hollowed-out body and ball socket designed to minimize size and weight at just a total of 402g (14.18oz), while maximizing strength, durability, and load capacity at 30kg (66.1lbs). This makes the EX-L Epic Explorer suitable for supporting larger telephoto lenses while being compact enough to carry and use with camera bodies and lens combinations of all sizes.

The large main adjustment knob with friction control and separate 360° panning clamp assist with fast, precision adjustments, so you never miss the action. The ARCA / RRS compatible quick release clamp makes it compatible with a large range of quick release plates and L-brackets and includes an Explorer EX-60 QR plate in the box. A 3/8” thread socket and included 1/4”-3/8” brushing suits tripods from many manufacturers.

The clamp features the same hollowed-out design of the ball head and an extra-large release lock so the camera does not obstruct the release. The Explorer EX-L Epic Explorer Large Ball Head is CNC-machined from an aircraft-grade aluminum alloy and anodized with an oxidation treatment that ensures a durable, high-quality finish.
