Category: Tripod Heads

The ProMaster XC-MH36 is a well-featured technical ball head with incredible strength in a compact and lightweight form factor. It is made of high-grade machined (not cast) aluminum.

The XC-MH36's dual-action design uses separate knobs to adjust ball tension and panning control. An etched, numbered scale at the head's base facilitates precise panning movements. The tension control knob has an integrated memory lock dial which allows you to set a repeatable tension stop. Its quick-release system uses a Dovetail plate (Arca-type) with safety bolts. All knobs are covered in a soft, grippy material that is comfortable and easy on your fingers, even in cold weather. Multiple integrated bubble levels (one bullseye and two line levels) let you precisely level your camera in either horizontal or vertical positions. The included quick-release plate has a strap slot that is compatible with a variety of straps and handgrips.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Eva ★★★★★

The locking mechanism is buttery smooth and holds my heavy telephoto lens rock steady without any creep. I'm honestly surprised how such a small head can support so much weight without feeling bulky.

Grace H. ★★★★★

That machined aluminum body feels incredibly solid in hand, and it's light enough that I don't notice it on my pack. The tension control gives me just the right amount of resistance for smooth panning.

Grace ★★★★★

The tension control dial is perfectly damped, making fine adjustments smooth and precise without any sudden drops. It holds my heavy telephoto lens rock steady even at full extension. I like that it only weighs a few ounces but easily supports my full frame camera and 70-200mm.
