Manfrotto 494 Center Ball head product description
Precision and Portability for Enthusiast Photographers
The Manfrotto 494 Center Ball Head is the ideal solution for photographers seeking a compact yet powerful tripod head. Crafted from high-resistance aluminum, this lightweight head weighs only 0.33 kg but supports a safety payload of up to 9 kg. It is perfectly suited for mirrorless cameras with zoom lenses and medium-format DSLRs, offering a blend of portability and rock-solid stability.
This advanced ball head features three independent controls for total framing accuracy. The main knob manages the sphere lock, while an integrated friction control knob allows you to adjust ball tension based on your equipment's weight. Additionally, an independent panoramic knob enables smooth horizontal movement, making it easy to capture stunning landscape shots while keeping the horizon perfectly level.
Versatility is at the core of the 494 design. It includes a unique 200PL-PRO plate, making it fully compatible with the most common attachments: Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-Swiss style. This allows you to switch between different supports rapidly without changing plates.
