VANGUARD GH-100 Pistol Grip Ball Head.f4v

Fusing the smooth precision of a ball head with impressive ergonomic control, GH-100 enables you to position your camera or spotting scope quickly with unmatched versatility. This well-engineered ball head has the Grip Position Release System with an industry-leading pistol grip-style handle, which rotates 360 degrees and enables you to unlock, reposition and lock gear into place with ease. Its one-handed, maximum comfort and convenient operation frees your other hand to make lens zoom adjustments. Depression of the handle allows 360-degrees of panning movement and -32 to +90-degrees of side-to-side tilt and -8 to +90-degree back to front tilt movement all round. It instantly locks into place with simple release of the handle. Other impressive features include its Friction Control System which allows you to modify the level of friction on the ball to accommodate changing equipment weight such as switching to heavier lenses.The anodized center ball allows for extremely fluid movement without sacrificing precise control. GH-100 ensures the safety of your expensive equipment with a dual-locking quick shoe mechanism that prevents accidental release. It lets you attach and detach your gear quickly and efficiently. Other notable features include its 72-click point panorama, offering 72-point rotation with click-into-place positioning that moves the camera 5 degrees per click and prevents jumps in shots to ensure a perfect 360-degree panorama.GH-100 provides impressive versatility in positioning with 360-degree horizontal movement and 90-angle tilt.

Yes it does. Also check out Vanguard GH-200T that comes with an Arca Swiss compatible quickshoe mount. Our newest model is GH-300T which comes with a shutter release trigger on the grip.

Love this pistol grip head!  I was so sad when the quarter turn locking mechanism on the 360 rotate fell off!  But my husband found the spring and  I peeled off the tape that covered the philips head screw on the thumb screw knob and figured out how to fix it!  YAY!  It's three years old and I use it all the time.  I just love it!

@signalsoldier
It tilts upwards 32 degrees and downwards 90 degrees. If you need it to tilt up higher, a little trick is to mount the camera on it reversed so that the grip is on the same side as the lens. A little unconventional but it works great.

How to adjust pistol grip pressure ? Mine is almost impossible to squeeze the trigger

[Gundrs]

One question ....how in the world are you suposed to use the shutter realese and such things when one hand is on the frip and one under the lens?

[gdjoslin]

How much weight will this take? I am looking for something for a Canon 50 with the Tamron 200-500. The Tammy is rented. Don't usually have it. Will have it on an upcoming tip to Yellowstone.

Is anyone going to show how they attached to the tripod. Not one video has shown rather it just screws on or what

[dibsneo]

Does it come with the quick shoe camera mount?

[LokoTripper]

I just got mine, but it sucks that I can not use my Sigma 70-200mm lens collar (like the one they use on the video) because it doesn't fit with my Battery Grip Nikon D300

@vanguardworldcom Will it attach to the Espod Plus 204AP?

My ballhead is still a bit loose even with 100% on the "tighten" side. Is there a simple ways the tighten it?

[hollywoodolq]

my model has another friction control screw and i´m realy unhappy with that. it doesnt lock completly even on the maximal position. and it doesnt make real difference if i press the pistolgrip or not, its always pretty loose. it stays in position but it gets looser and looser since i bought it a month ago and i dont even use it every day. is there any way to thight it up ?
