A smaller version of our GXP Ball-Head, but it still has a robust 35 lb. (15.87kg) capacity, and the ability to function as a Ball-Head, gimbal head, and a panorama head. The GXP-SS has a shorter quick release clamp. It is perfect for travel tripods.
All Acratech Ball-Heads are designed to be lightweight and rugged for the active outdoor photographer. The open structure lets moisture, dirt and debris fall through instead of being trapped inside a socket.
Compact size is perfect for travel tripods.
Solidly supports an impressive 35lbs (15.87kg).
The GXP-SS only weighs .85lbs bearing a 40:1 load ratio.
Large, easy to tighten, high torque lock knob is easy to tighten even with heavy winter gloves on.
Open structure allows dirt and debris to fall through instead of getting trapped inside.
New extra fine tension adjustment.
I also have a post selling a Gitzo Systematic series 3 tripod GT3530LS and GS3511S column ($395). If you buy both I'll take $600 (firm).
