The Manfrotto MH492-BH packs essential ball head performance into a 140 g aluminum sphere. The integrated 1/4"-20 quick-release plate with rubber grip locks cameras or small rigs instantly, while the single oversized knob delivers firm ball and pan lockdown. Full 360° panning with a subtle index mark supports stitched panoramas, and the ±90° forward tilt plus +40° side tilt enable portrait orientation or low-angle work. Ideal for mirrorless, compact, or GoPro setups, it mounts via a 3/8"-16 female socket to any tripod or arm—perfect for street, travel, or vlogging where every gram counts.
