Double-Panning Low Gravity Ball Head- Light Weight Setup Recommended by Richard Tatti

I made a couple of ordering mistakes and their support team was fantastic—quick to respond, friendly, and very efficient in arranging my returns.
Excellent products backed by genuinely top-notch customer service.

This is a very nice double-panning ballhead. It offers two 90 degree slots. The ball is large enough to instill confidence in its ability to support a heavy setup. I do need to point out a limitation I’ve encountered. The compactness comes at a difficult decision made in the size of the lever arm that secures the ballhead. It is small and applying force to lock securely or unlock the ballhead is difficult. There is also a position where the tilted ballhead interferes with the lower panning knob. I get a slight rubbing when in that corner case.

The MSM Nomad star tracker is definitely one of the best available especially for wider landscape astro photography. So easy to transport and set up.

The double panning ball head makes shooting tracked pano’s a lot easier, as the ball does not need adjustment to pan, only to change the tilt for
multi row panos.

The low form factor keeps the centre of gravity close to the centre of rotation putting less strain on the tracker.

An absolute game changer.
