Vanguard ABH Series Ball Heads

Vanguard ABH Series Ball Heads

New for 2010 is VANGUARD’s top-of-the-line ABH Series semi-elliptical ball heads that automatically adjust and increase tension to handle off-center load with exceptional strength and stability.

“ABH Series ball heads offer extreme tension and friction control like never before,” said Anne Lee, CEO and founder of VANGUARD. “They’re unique with numerous, major industry-leading features and convenient details, like a numbered friction adjustment ring.”


Patented features include:
Combination-Friction Forces Control (CFFC) - enables extreme tension and friction control via an ergonomic grooved dial located on the main adjustment knob. Both are independently adjustable but positioned side-by-side on the same axis for convenient fine-tuning. This combination of precise tension and friction forces control increases the strength to provide outstanding security.
Stability X3 system- provides exceptional stability with an additional component between the semi-elliptical ball head and housing, providing a loading weight capacity three times greater than that of other ball heads.

Other features include:
Industry-leading housing with oxidation anodizing treatment, which provides a smooth, scratch-free surface. It prevents scratching and damaging with incredible resistance.
Quick release plate with cavity-mounted, anti-slip rubber pads for greater camera-to-surface security.
Scaled base enables smooth, 360-degree panoramic movement.
Compatible with numerous Arca quick release plates, its platform requires no adaptor.

Choose from models with two lock types: L-type flip lock quick release unlocks the lever to 90 degrees and allows the quick shoe movement to the left and right. Holding the gear snugly in place, it allows for minor movement. The K-type knob lock enables fine-tuning changes.
