Low Center of Gravity XB Series Ball Head XB-44

SUNWAYFOTO team launches XB series of superior low-profile ball head, which is original designed and to be patented, specially offered for professional photographers and photographic enthusiasts all over the world. It took us over 2 years of researches and development with great concentration.
SUNWAYFOTO makes the XB series ballhead balls like DB’s from ellipsoidal form into more closer to spherical form. At present, most ballheads that the Y-axis diameter of the ball is about 0.07mm longer than the X-axis in the market. The advantage of this design is to make the resistance increasing while the ball sliding to the side. So that to avoid the risk of making the ball suddenly slide down. But SUNWAYFOTO only make the ball Y-axis diameter 0.03mm longer than the X-axis. The advantage of this change is that to make the operation more smoothly while retaining the previous advantage.
SUNWAYFOTO continue to adopt two drop notch design. One for portrait, one for tilting.
All sunwayfoto’s ball head abandons the practice of rubber ring wrapped knob, all the knobs are metal materials with CNC cutting pattern. That is, to ensure the operation smoothness, and also enhance the reliability and durability.

Best Tripod Head and Camera Supports 2012

Whenever I watch television documentaries about wildlife photographers, I always notice the equipment they are using, or, more often than not, the equipment they don’t have-specifically, a tripod head . While hand holding a camera is fine on a bright, sunny day with a fast shutter speed, once you slow down that shutter or use a large telephoto lens and then a  tripod head becomes a necessity. It is the only way to get sharp, defined photographs consistently.

Many photographers argue that using a tripod head is a hassle. They are a bother to lug around, they pinch your fingers every time you try to make an adjustment and take too much time to set up and take down. But, despite its shortcomings, for the photographer concerned with consistently high-quality results, a  tripod head is a must.

SunWayFoto makes the best  tripod head on the market. They range in price from €309.00 up into the low thousands. If the price seems steep, remember: a quality camera will only last a few years. Lenses are the same way, yet often even more expensive. However, a SunWayFoto tripod head comes with a lifetime guarantee and will dramatically improve the photographs of most photographers.
