Empower your photography with compact precision tailored for mid-weight setups

The RRS® BH-40-SCR

The BH-40 inspires seamless creativity, delivering smooth control and unwavering stability to elevate every shot on your adventures.

Impressive 18 lb Load Capacity

Supports mid-range cameras, moderate lenses, or optics, delivering secure hold for everyday shots without sacrificing portability or performance.

Smooth Articulation with Secure Locking

Features a 40mm hollow ball for smooth movement and ±45° of tilt in any direction, allowing easy positioning followed by instant, sag-free locking at any angle.

Single 90° Drop Notch for Portrait Flexibility

Enables quick vertical orientation switches without removing the camera, streamlining workflows for portrait, macro, or multi-angle photography.

Low Center of Gravity Design for Enhanced Stability

Positions the ball low in the housing to keep the equipment's center of mass close to the tripod apex, minimizing moment arms and torsional stress for superior overall rigidity, while ensuring a firm connection to transfer vibrations effectively to the carbon fiber legs for dissipation.

Precision Panning Base with Engraved Markings

Lockable 360° rotation with laser-engraved 2.5° increments for accurate panoramic stitching or tracking, enhancing repeatability in landscape and time-lapse applications.

Compact Yet Robust Dimensions

At 3.0" tall with a 2.1" base diameter and weighing just 1.1 lb (excluding clamp), it prioritizes lightweight mobility with professional-grade durability, ideal for hikers and travelers.

Dual-Rail Freedom for Precision Marksmen

The included SC-ARC clamp delivers true Picatinny and Arca-Swiss compatibility in one ultra-secure, rapid lever clamp — perfect for shooters transitioning between systems without adapters. Its patented top-loading lever enables instant gear swaps, while RRS-LOCK safety stops and visual lock indication ensure absolute confidence under recoil or in rugged terrain. Directly mounts to A.R.M.S. 17s-style bipods like Atlas or Thunderbeast, enhancing stability and eliminating wobble — all in a compact, snag-free American-made design. Learn more here.
