36mm Ball Head for Camera Support

The GSM Outdoors 36mm ball head provides a 35.2 lb load capacity on a 0.71 lb aluminum alloy body. A 360 degree panoramic base with three twist locks lets you set the camera at different angles. A built-in spirit level helps keep the camera balanced during composition.

Upgrading from Smaller Heads

This head replaces lighter models when you need the 36mm ball diameter and 16 kg maximum loading for heavier DSLR or camcorder setups. The jump is worth it when your current head cannot lock securely at the angles you shoot or when the quick-release plate feels too small for stable mounting.

Quick-Release Mounting and Compatibility

The 1/4 inch quick shoe plate measures 2.36 by 1.5 inches and attaches to cameras in seconds, while the 3/8 inch thread hole connects to tripods, monopods or sliders. Installation issues usually arise if the mounting threads are cross-threaded or if the twist locks are not fully tightened before adding weight.

Questions about this item

What size tripod thread does the 36mm ball head use for mounting?

The base has a 3/8 inch screw thread hole for attaching to a tripod, monopod, slider or other stand.

How do you secure the camera once it is positioned on the 360° panoramic base?

Use the three twist locks on the base to lock the pan angle, then tighten the main ball-lock knob to fix the camera orientation.

When should the 1/4 inch quick-release plate be replaced?

Replace the plate if the 60mm by 38mm platform shows cracks, the 1/4 inch mounting screw strips, or the locking mechanism no longer holds the 35.2 lbs rated load securely.
