Manfrotto 496 Centre Ball head with Top Lock plate

The MH496-Q6 is a Manfrotto camera head, the part of the support that does the aiming once the legs are set. Locks and drag controls fall under the operating hand so framing changes without touching the tripod.

It mounts gear on a 1/4" screw attachment and takes a MSQ6PL plate. Construction is aluminum and it weighs 0.53 kg.
