Frontcountry Ball Head

The Frontcountry Ball Head is a full-size, feature-packed tripod head designed to meet all your glassing and shooting needs. While it may not be as lightweight as the Backcountry Lite, it excels in robustness, stability, and ease of use. Ideal for mounting on larger tripods like the Frontcountry, it’s the perfect choice when weight isn’t the primary concern.

Main Design Features:

• Robust & Durable: Featuring a large 1.25" oversized ball, deep knurling, and heavy-duty knobs, this head is built to withstand the demands of tough environments.
• Adaptable Functionality: The 'Tilt Lock Knob' allows you to lock the ball into a single axis of motion, converting the head into a pan/tilt style for precise glassing. (see video)
• Easy to Use: The main ball lock has an aggressive knurled face and offers a minimum tension set point for quick, intuitive adjustments.
• Highly Compatible: The Arca-Swiss dovetail and 3/8"-16UNC base ensure broad compatibility with a wide range of tripods.
• Compact & Low Profile: At just 3.2" tall, this head has a low center of gravity & saves space in your pack without compromising stability.
