Markins Q10iQ-BK Lever Shoe Q-Ball i-Type Ball Head

The Markins Q10i series is a standard model that combines high stability with ease of handling, supporting even medium format cameras and super-telephoto lenses.

With an ample load capacity of 100lb (45 kg), it also features the signature Markins control feel—“it moves exactly as much as you intend and stops precisely where you want.”
This intuitive operation is delivered in a lighter, more agile form.

Do you have any of these concerns?

• You want stability for heavy equipment but want to avoid overly large ball heads
• Even after locking it firmly, the lens gradually droops
• You don’t want to compromise on either operability or stability

The Q10i achieves this ideal balance at a high level.

As demonstrated in the video, it delivers reliable holding power that stays firmly in place even when you let go.
At the same time, its smooth movement enables intuitive, stress-free composition adjustments.
