Short Half Ball for 60mm Bowls

The Manfrotto 560BALLSHX is a 60mm aluminium half ball with a 16cm short locking handle. It mounts any Manfrotto 60mm flat-base head, such as the MVH500XAH, onto a 60mm bowl tripod. A universal 3/8" male thread on top secures the head. The compact handle suits low-angle and ground-level shooting.

For low-angle video work on 60mm systems

Videographers using Manfrotto 60mm flat-base heads on 60mm bowl tripods will find this adaptor fits directly. The short handle keeps the rig close to the ground for stability. It is not for users needing a longer handle for eye-level operation, buyers with larger bowl systems, or those mounting heads that lack a 3/8" thread.

60mm half ball with 16cm handle

The defining specification is the 60mm half-ball diameter paired with a 16cm (6.3 in) short locking handle. This combination determines whether the adaptor matches your tripod bowl and provides the working height you need for ground-level setups.

Will the short locking handle stay cool and quiet during all-day ground-level shooting?
