Congratulations on your acquisition of the MagicBall FREE – the revolutionary new ball and socket
head. Whilst you should have no difficulty in using the MagicBall FREE, you may find the following
explanations useful.
Features:
Thanks to the upside down installation of the housing and the free-running ball, the MagicBall FREE
allows for an enormous adjustment range of approximately 240 degrees. Even without a perfect
leveled tripod, a camera turn from landscape- to portrait mode is always possible.
In addition, the unleashed ball, released from the main housing, can be used as a quick release
system, which supports the photographer in all conceivable shooting situations, enables a quick
change from tripod- to freehand exposure.
Combined with the guide shell and the support leg, taking pictures while stabilization right next to
the photographers body or on a variety of conceivable surfaces is also highly convenient.
