Ball-head tripod mount designed for precise, portable positioning Key benefits - Easy panoramic and portrait capture: 360° rotation and smooth ball movement let you frame wide landscapes or tight portraits without repositioning the whole tripod. - Precise, repeatable positioning: Integrated scale plate shows rotation angles for accurate adjustments, improving stability and repeatability for complex or multi-shot projects. - Fast vertical shooting: U-shaped slots support secure vertical (portrait) mounting so you can switch orientations quickly while keeping the camera steady. - Universal compatibility: Standard 1/4-inch mounting screw plus a female thread allow straightforward integration with most cameras, heads, and tripods. Features and specifications - Full 360° flexibility for horizontal panning and flexible composition. - U-shaped slots for precise vertical/portrait alignment. - Scale plate for exact rotation-angle settings and improved stability during adjustments. - Compact footprint: working height 5.5 cm, base diameter 3.5 cm — convenient for travel, tabletop, or low-angle setups. - Universal 1/4-inch screw and under-thread (female thread) for broad compatibility with cameras and support systems. Practical use scenarios - Landscape panoramas: Use the 360° rotation and scale plate to create stitched panoramas with consistent overlap and repeatable rotation angles. - Portrait and studio work: Quickly switch to vertical orientation using the U-shaped slots for headshots or product portraits while maintaining a stable setup. - Low-angle or tabletop photography: The compact 5.5 cm working height and small base make it ideal for low-angle shots, product detail photos, or mounting on small supports. Why choose this mount - Solves common alignment and stability problems by combining precise angle markings, portrait-orientation support, and universal mounting compatibility in a compact form factor. - Designed to integrate seamlessly into existing camera kits without requiring adapters or special mounts. Compatibility note - Fits equipment that uses a standard 1/4-inch mounting screw and can attach to supports offering a matching female thread.
