The new generation of the Benro B series is black anodized. Compared to the previous model B-1, the Arca-Swiss compatible quick release plate has been equipped with a bubble level. The B1 is very easy to operate using a locking screw, a friction screw, and a panorama screw. The base features a 3/8'' thread, allowing you to screw the ball head onto any standard tripod. If needed, you can use the included 3/8'' to 1/4'' thread adapter, making it easy to attach the head to a 1/4'' screw. The ball moves smoothly. The B1 ball head weighs 0.36 kg and can support a maximum load of 12 kg. The quick release plate can be removed from the quick release unit by pulling it up from the top screw. There is no risk of the plate slipping out sideways.
