Description
Do you have any of these concerns?
・Gimbal heads are heavy and difficult to carry
・Ball heads are unstable with telephoto lenses
・The horizon shifts during video shooting
▶ This single unit solves all of these problems.
“It’s heavy, bulky, and inconvenient...”
This product was born from a photographer’s remark.
BV-HEAD achieves stable operation like a video head
by intentionally adding limitations to a ball head.
✔ Can be used as a ball head
✔ Transforms into a video head only when needed
✔ Reduces weight without increasing gear
“Markins Q20iQ-BK + BV-24 Set” is a set including
BV-HEAD BV-24 and
Q20iQ-BK Ball Head.
By attaching the BV-HEAD, your ball head becomes
a video head capable of pan and tilt operations.
■ Achieves stable shooting
By controlling vertical and horizontal movement, your footage maintains level and vertical alignment.
Even with telephoto lenses, it suppresses shake and enables smooth tracking.
■ Center-of-gravity balance design
Aligning the equipment’s center of gravity reduces load and improves stability.
■ One-touch attachment/removal
The BV-HEAD can be easily attached and removed. Once detached, it functions as a standard ball head.
■ Surprisingly lightweight
BV-HEAD: approx. 238g
Ball head: approx. 552g
▶ Significantly lighter than a gimbal head
▶ Ideal for hiking and long trips without added burden
Bird photography and video shooting—traditionally difficult with ball heads—
become comfortable with this compact and lightweight BV-HEAD.
Both the BV-14 Set and BV-24 Set share the same concept, but the optimal model depends on your use.
