Manfrotto 60mm Short Half Ball Summary
The Manfrotto 60mm Short Half Ball (560BALLSH) is a compact, precision-machined tripod accessory, which mounts a flat-base video head onto any tripod that features a 60mm bowl. Its low-profile design reduces the overall height, which is especially useful if you intent to capture low-angle shots, and for setups where stability and balance are beneficial.
It is made from durable aluminium, and the half ball from Manfrotto includes a built-in tightening knob for fast, secure adjustments. This accessory enables quick levelling on uneven terrain without the need to reposition the tripod legs, which is useful for run-and-gun shooting.
The Manfrotto 60mm Short Half Ball is compatible with a range of Manfrotto flat-base heads, including the 500X Fluid Head, and this 560BALLSH adds even greater versatility to hybrid or video-first tripods like the Manfrotto ONE series.
