Key Features and Specifications:

1. Height: 104mm – With a height of 104mm, the MH-40 offers enhanced stability while maintaining a compact form factor, making it an excellent choice for both studio and field work.


2. Base Diameter: 50mm – The base diameter of 50mm provides a larger surface area for secure attachment to tripods, offering increased stability when shooting in challenging conditions.


3. Ball Diameter: 40mm – The 40mm ball offers smooth and precise control, allowing users to easily adjust their camera angle with minimal effort. The larger ball size also provides increased friction resistance, making it ideal for heavier camera and rifle setups.


4. Mounting Hole: UNC 3/8” – The MH-40 is equipped with a 3/8” universal mounting hole, making it compatible with most tripods and support systems. This standard threading ensures versatility in mounting options across various tripod setups.


5. Weight: 587g – Weighing 587g, the MH-40 strikes a perfect balance between portability and durability. Its lightweight design allows users to carry it easily while still benefiting from the strength and sturdiness it offers.


6. Max Load Capacity: 20kg – The MH-40 is capable of supporting equipment up to 20kg, making it suitable for photographers using heavy camera systems, including DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, telephoto lenses and hunters/shooters using heavier rigs. This high load capacity ensures that even the heaviest gear remains stable and secure.


7. 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy Construction: Like other Leofoto ball heads, the MH-40 is made from high-quality 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, which offers exceptional strength and corrosion resistance while keeping the overall weight low. This material is designed to withstand rugged outdoor environments.


8. Tilt Range: ±55° / 115° – The MH-40 offers an impressive tilt range of +55° and -55°, with an additional 115° tilt for even more flexibility in camera positioning. This wide range of motion allows photographers to achieve various creative angles and perspectives with ease.


9. 360° Panning Base: The MH-40 features a separate panning base that allows for smooth and continuous 360° rotation. This functionality is particularly useful for panoramic photography and video work, where seamless horizontal movement is essential.


10. BPL-50N Quick Release Plate: The MH-40 comes with the BPL-50N Quick Release Plate, which is Arca compatible. The plate measures 50mm x 38mm, providing a secure and reliable mounting solution for a wide range of camera bodies and lenses. The quick-release mechanism allows for fast mounting and dismounting, which is crucial for users on the go.


11. Friction Control: The MH-40 is designed with a motorcycle throttle-style handle, allowing users to quickly adjust the friction of the ball head. This friction control system enables fine-tuned adjustments for smooth and precise panning, even with heavier setups.


12. Weather Resistance: With its robust construction and high-quality lubricant, the MH-40 is designed to perform in extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C to 60°C. This ensures that the ball head remains fully operational in diverse environmental conditions, from freezing alpine climates to scorching desert landscapes.
