The SBH-100 DQ compact ball head is ultra-light.  A single lever locks and releases the ball allowing for a full range of movement.  As a result, you can lock the camera in position at almost any angle.  The all-metal ball head has a small, low profile quick release plate.  The 6252 quick release plate is compact enough to be left on the camera at all times. Use the SBH-100 with lightweight digital SLRs, video cameras and point-and-shoot cameras.
