Manfrotto MHXPRO-BHQ2 Ball Head

The Manfrotto MHXPRO-BHQ2 XPRO Ball Head is a premium, lightweight magnesium ball head that delivers exceptional stability and smooth operation for photographers seeking quick, precise framing.

Weighing just 0.5 kg, it features a sturdy magnesium-aluminium construction with a 45 mm ball and triple-locking mechanism (main lock, friction control, independent pan lock) for secure, vibration-free holds. It offers full 360° panoramic rotation with markings, front tilt -90° / +40°, and portrait capability up to 90°, plus two built-in bubble levels for accurate levelling. The included 200PL-14 quick-release plate (RC2 system) enables fast, tool-free camera swaps and is compatible with a wide range of gear.

With a robust 15 kg safety payload (UNI/PdR 105:2021 certified; often listed as 10-15 kg depending on source), it handles full-frame DSLRs, mirrorless rigs, or telephoto lenses effortlessly. Grease-free polymer rings ensure clean, smooth movements without mess, making it ideal for clean setups. Compact (base diameter 60 mm, working height ~11.5 cm), durable, and highly portable—this head combines pro precision, high load capacity, and intuitive controls at a great value. Grab it and enjoy effortless, rock-solid compositions on any tripod!

The new XPRO Ball Head is the perfect union between innovative technical solutions and design.

• The triple locking system guarantees precision avoiding drifting
• Polymer rings allow change position accuracy
• The magnesium body ensures payload performance and lightness
• Leveling bubbles for precise framing
• Quick release with 200PL for easy and completely safe set up

XPRO Ball Head features a new triple locking system which guarantees camera position stability, avoiding drifting thanks to three wedges which enclose and block the sphere. Its friction control helps the user balance the weight of camera equipment and, thanks to the two leveling bubbles, fine adjustments can be made with the locking knobs open.
Moreover, its new polymer rings have substituted that unpleasant, messy grease, ensuring smooth, accurate and less jerky camera movement.

XPRO Ball Head is extremely portable, lightweight and reliable thanks to its magnesium body: it weighs only 0.5 kg and can support up to 10 kg of payload.

The new MHXPRO-BHQ2 comes with the Manfrotto 200 pl plate, the most widespread photographic plate.

The Manfrotto MHXPRO-BHQ2 Ball Head comes with a full Manfrotto Australia warranty.
