And a note about load capacity...
We rate the load capacity of our BH-30 ballhead very conservatively at just 15 pounds. Why do we do this when competitors' ballheads in this same class are rated for greater load capacities? We feel that a better guide for choosing a ballhead is to consider how well the ballhead operates while it's loaded with gear. For example, we routinely recommend our BH-30 as the compact ballhead of choice for lenses like 70-200mm/f2.8 zooms. Does that mean the BH-30 can't handle a 300mm/f2.8 lens? Of course not! Our BH-30 ballhead is robust enough for occasional use with even a 400mm/f4 lens. But if you primarily use a 300mm/f2.8 lens (and bigger) for your tripod work, we guarantee you'll be happier with our BH-55 full-size ballhead. Bigger loads simply handle better on a bigger ball, period. So when you're trying to decide which ballhead is going to be best for you, consider that load capacity is only one of many features to consider. Any questions? Call our onsite pros and we'll help you choose the best support system for your gear.
