## Long description

The Manfrotto MH496-BH is a compact aluminium 1/4" ball head designed to offer portable yet stable support for cameras. Made from durable black aluminium, it measures 115 mm in height, weighs approximately 400 g and supports a payload up to 10 kg (22.03 lbs). The head accepts Arca‑Swiss style and Manfrotto RC2 plates, making it compatible with a wide range of cameras and tripod heads.
Advantages
This aluminium ball head provides smooth and precise camera positioning via three independent controls: an ergonomic main knob for locking the sphere, an integrated friction control to fine‑tune ball tension and balance equipment weight, and a separate panoramic knob for accurate horizontal rotation. Its lightweight construction and high load capacity combine portability with the steadiness required for mirrorless cameras with zoom lenses and medium‑format DSLRs. Compatibility with Arca‑Swiss and Manfrotto RC2 plates enables quick mounting and interchangeability with many tripod systems.
Suitable for
 Travel and landscape photography with mirrorless and DSLR cameras
 Portrait and studio work requiring precise framing
 Use with zoom lenses and medium‑format DSLRs within the 10 kg load limit
 Photographers needing quick plate interchange and compact setup
