Acratech GV2 Ballhead - A Piece of Art Work
Acratech introduced a radical new ballhead In 2001, Acratech Ultimate Ballhead, for most 35mm format cameras and wide to medium-long lenses it was all that the outdoor photographer needed, especially anyone hiking, that reduced the weight of the head to less than one pound. And now Acratech has updated refinements the GV2, “G” stands for Gimbal able to act as a gimbal head as well.
In the past it was necessary to carry a separate Gimbal head or Gimbal attachment for ballhead. The Acratech GV2 Ballhead is uniquely designed to function both as a ballhead and as a Gimbal head by rotating the ball into the Gimbal slot on the side of the ballhead, it works well with lenses up to a 400 4.0.
I recently got a copy of the Acratech GV2 Ballhead because I want strong but light and convenience head for my long trip and dynamic work. For maxmium flexibility, I also acquired a Wmberley C10 standard quick-release clamp and a P-5 universal camera body plate.
This looks a perfect setup to meet my requirement. Though yet I don’t have life run experience to share at this time, that is a piece of quality equipment representing the designer’s art in mind.
Come back sometimes later, I will have more comments to share after my next trip. And check these photos for my current setup.
