JOBY ballhead X for Gorillapod focus

The Joby Ballhead X is strong enough to support a proffessional DSLR kit and brings the Gorillapod flexibility to a new level. The ballhead is small enough to retain the Gorillapod's portability and weighs just 255g (9 ounces) and yet it can support up to 5kg. The unit offers both tightness and resistance screws to vary the ballhead movement, and a quick release plate which can be left attached to the camera. 

Press release:

Joby is also excited to announce the Ballhead X for Gorillapod Focus, the latest addition to its Professional Line of photographic equipment. The portable yet sturdy Ballhead X supports 11.1lbs (5kg) and allows the user to easily and fluidly pan, tilt, and rotate his camera while still enjoying the versatility and reliable support of a Gorillapod on virtually any surface. Built with the serious photographer in mind, the Ballhead X is lightweight and compact, yet still robust enough to support professional SLR cameras with substantial zoom lenses and sizable camera rigs. It further extends the functionality of the Gorillapod Focus by allowing even more creative camera positioning, enabling the user to capture great shots anywhere his travels take him! While it is optimized for use with the Gorillapod Focus, the Ballhead X can accommodate both 3/8" and ¼" threads, allowing convenient compatibility with any tripod. The Ballhead X will be available both separately and bundled together with the Gorillapod Focus.

The Ballhead X for Gorillapod Focus is constructed from precision-machined anodized aluminum, weighs just over 9 ounces, is 3.3-inches tall, and will be available globally in April.
