This magnesium ball head has a unique open body design that helps maintain a lighter weight. The ball also boasts a scratch-free, oxidised surface for ultra smooth moment. BBH can be positioned at accurate 90-degree angles in one second.

VANGUARD BBH-100 ball head highlights

The next level
VANGUARD’s BBH ball heads feature an innovative Rapid Level System that allows users to instantly position their camera level with the base of the head. When the Rapid Level System is engaged by sliding the designated orange switch to the right, an internal guide fixes the ball into place once the level position is achieved. This makes switching from portrait orientation to landscape very simple and quick to do. Used in combination with BBH’s two bubble levels, this system ensures a precisely level platform for panoramic shooting. Once fixed, securely lock the ball into place with its oversized locking knob – which is also handy for panning.

Highly compatible
BBH-100 ball head features a universal Arca compatible, 38mm quick release clamp system with large locking knob and VANGUARD’s QS-60 quick shoe with 38mm base. This allows for easy compatibility with other heads and release plates using this popular system. Users can further customise their kit with the use of different size or speciality plates with the same 38mm base, such as the larger QS-61 from VANGUARD. They can also conveniently keep their camera mounted to QS-60 when switching to other heads using this system, such as VANGUARD’s GH-300 or TBH series ball heads.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Daniel P. ★★★★★

The Rapid Level System on this ball head makes leveling my panoramic shots incredibly fast without touching the legs. Panning is buttery smooth too, and the locking knob has just the right tension for my heavy telephoto setup.

Penelope V. ★★★★★

The Rapid Level System makes leveling my tripod so much quicker than fiddling with individual legs. Even with my heavy DSLR and a 70-200mm lens, it locks down rock solid with zero creep.

Jason Y. ★★★★★

I’ve been through three ball heads in five years and this is the first one that doesn’t drift a millimeter after I lock it down, even with my 70-200mm attached. The 10kg rating feels honest, not just marketing fluff, and the knob tension is buttery smooth to adjust.
