Allows you to attach an accessory to a light stand and quickly position it.



The ProMaster Mini Ball Head for Light Stand is a clever way to mount an accessory to a light stand while gaining the ability to reposition it quickly.



The common 1/4"-20 threaded screw at the top of the ball head works with a wide variety of accessories such as a monitor, microphone, LED light, and more. The base connects to a common 5/8" spigot, found at the top of most light stands. There are two ways to connect the base: straight up and down or at a 90-degree angle.



The mini ball head uses a single-action knob. Once you loosen the knob the ball joint and its rotating base can be fully manipulated for best positioning.



This product is manufactured of a high-strength aluminum alloy and has a load capacity of 4 1/2 lbs.

Natalie ★★★★★

Took me less than a minute to get my reflector mounted and angled just right on the stand, and that little ball joint holds tight without sagging even when I nudge the light. The whole thing feels sturdier than the price suggests, and the quick release is genuinely easy to fumble with one hand while

Henry ★★★★★

The quick-release knob turned my softbox setup from a fumbling chore into a ten-second job, and the ball holds its angle rock-solid once tightened. For the price, it's the handiest little mount I've added to my kit all year.

Adam O. ★★★★★

I love how the ball head's removable knob makes it easy to tighten or loosen the mount without fumbling around, and it secures my softbox firmly in place. The quick-release lever is a game-changer for repositioning mid-shoot.
