Really Right Stuff BH-30 Ball Head with PC-LR-40 Panning Clamp
A RRS ball head is the best choice for all general photography, and will give you fast and accurate control and solid support of your camera or lens. Aiming and horizon leveling can be accomplished as one instinctive motion, and rigid lockup takes just a quick twist of one control. As a result, our ball heads are faster to use and inherently more stable than 3-axis pan-tilt tripod heads. Since the ball head profile is smaller and lacks the protruding handles, they are also much easier to carry and pack. These are no-nonsense heads with robust capacity, offering minimal weight and elegant simplicity. They excel as ground-level macro tools, but also as super light heads for backpacking, travel, and table top use. Comes packed in its own padded Cordura protective draw-string pouch. Use the pouch to cover and protect the ball head when mounted to the tripod, for carrying the ball head in your carry-on luggage when traveling, or when the ball head and tripod are strapped to a photo backpack. The PC-LR-40 Panning clamp is designed to offer precision horizontal panning as a versatile modular item. Combining our patented lever-release clamp jaw with a lockable 360-degree panning bearing, the PC-LR is a robust yet lightweight panning solution for more convenient single-row panorama shooting. Like all of our lever-release clamps, the PC-LR-40 offers the fastest action for quick-release of plates and rails in and out of the jaw. With a patented stainless-steel lever that flips to three positions: closed, half-open, fully-open - you can be confident in the state of the clamp lock at a glance.Really Right Stuff PC-LR-40 Compact Lever-Release Panning ClampThe panning clamp has precision laser engravings for panning angle and camera position, and an integrated 8mm bubble level makes leveling quick and easy.The PC-LR-40 features a built-in, patent-pending R-Mount, allowing you to rigidly mount it onto any Really Right Stuff ball head stem. This allows using the ball head to level the panning axis, thus eliminating the need for a leveling base in many applications. The increased speed and accuracy offered by the panning clamp makes setup for single-row panoramas a snap.The PC-LR-40 can be paired with a modular dovetail accessory (TH-DVTL-40) which adds an RRS 1.5" dovetail to the bottom of the panning clamp. This quick-release modularity allows part-time panorama shooters to eliminate the weight off their tripod setup when it's not needed.The clamp features a central 3/8"-16 threaded socket, and also includes flat-head 1/4"-20 and M6 screws for mounting directly to Really Right Stuff and Arca-Swiss ball heads.
