As photographers, we’re always looking for the next piece of gear to kick our creativity up a notch and make the overall process smoother. Recently our good friends at Platypod developed a revolutionary ball head unlike any you’ve ever used before. They call it the Platyball.
“So basically they’ve come up with an easier, more accurate way to control your camera on a tripod or a Platypod. […] It is the most accurate ball head you will ever try.”
