The LB-55 is an ultra-light and compact traditional Arca compatible ball head with a 55mm base that is designed for a full sized tripod or large monopod.

At just 82mm tall and weighing in at 326g, this is a super compact head that doesn't disappoint. With an oversized 40mm ball and friction control, this head has a maximum load capacity of 20kg to manage most kits, while the latest Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology delivers a smooth, precise movement achieved through the mirror smooth finish that CNC production delivers.

This model only includes the traditional pan axis on the base of the head, and for the dual axis model you will need the LB-55S. 

Easy grip locking knobs can be tightened and released with ease, even in cold and wet conditions. On a smaller head, sometimes the setup can mean that the locking knobs can get in the way of each other. To address this, the top axis locking knob and the main ball locking knob can also be pulled outwards and repositioned to more convenient and comfortable positions without affecting the solidity of the head.

With a 55mm diameter base and the ability to fit any large tripod with a 3/8" thread (or any tripod with a 1/4" thread using the adaptor provided), this head is perfect for a travel tripod or smaller monopod from any brand.

So whatever your tripod, if you're looking for a super compact and solid Arca compatible ball head that won't let you down, check out the LB-55.
