Overview

The Induro BHD1 Dual Action Ballhead is engineered for photographers and videographers who need reliable stability and precise positioning without adding significant weight to their kit. With a load capacity of 26.4 lbs (12 kg), it comfortably supports professional camera bodies paired with heavy lenses, all while tipping the scales at a mere 1.1 lbs. The dual-action design refers to its independently adjustable drag and tension controls — the tension knob sets the overall friction of the ball, while the drag control lets you dial in smooth, consistent resistance for careful compositional adjustments.

The Arca-Swiss style quick release system is a significant advantage, providing compatibility with the vast ecosystem of Arca-Swiss plates, L-brackets, and lens foot plates available from numerous manufacturers. The BHD1 offers a tilt range of +90° to -45° and full 360° panning with a dedicated pan lock, making it well-suited for landscape panoramas and precise framing. Large ergonomic locking knobs ensure easy operation even while wearing gloves, and the standard 3/8"-16 base mount fits virtually any professional tripod on the market.
