The Robus Ballhead: The Only Ballhead You’ll Ever Need The Robus Experience A Wildlife Photographer’s Experience with Robus Where Power and Flexibility Meet | Robus RTH 1030 Tripod Ball Head

The sturdy RTH-1030 Triple Action Ball Head from Robus is a rugged, full-featured ball head that provides a combination of strength and functionality for use in the studio or on location. With a generous load capacity of up to 35 pounds, the RTH-1030 can support cameras up to full-sized DSLRs with massive telephoto lenses and still provide a full range of movements. The main locking knob turns easily to tighten and loosen the ball, and features an ergonomic and intuitive tension adjustment dial. Adjustable tension control ensures that a level friction is always applied to the ball to prevent losing control of the camera when repositioning. The Arca-type quick release receiver incorporates an integrated bubble level for precise horizontal alignment and is compatible with a multitude of Arca-type quick release plates, camera brackets, and other related accessories.

Load Capacity The generous 35 lb load capacity of the RTH-1030 enables the smooth positioning of almost any type of camera, ranging from simple compact models up to heavy camera-plus-lens combinations, with stable and secure results. Tension Control The locking knob includes an integrated tension dial that sets the minimum amount of friction on the ball. This ensures there’s friction, even when the main locking knob is disengaged. This feature assures control of your camera and lens when you need to quickly unlock and reposition the ball head. Arca-Type Compatible Quick Release System The Arca-type compatible quick release plate allows the camera and lens set to be quickly mounted. It incorporates a bubble level for precise horizontal alignment, and a +/- 25mm scale for precise quick release plate positioning. The included AQR-60 quick release plate has a D-ring 1/4″-20″ mounting screw, rubber traction strips to prevent camera rotation, and security pins to prevent it from accidentally releasing from the mounting platform while being positioned. Panoramic Base The panning base operates independently from the main tension knob and features its own locking knob. A highly visible precision scale adds simplicity to panoramic imaging and creating repeatable results. Aircraft-Grade Aluminum For exceptional strength and stability, the RTH-1030 head is constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum that can stand up to demanding use and travel and perform at the highest level. All of the control knobs are cross-hatch knurled for easy gripping. Solid Brass-Reinforced Socket The base of the RTH-1030 ball head features an industry-standard 3/8″-16 mounting socket machined from corrosion-resistant brass, making it compatible with virtually any tripod leg set. The socket is made from reinforced brass to resist wear for long life and reliable, secure tightening. 90 Notch Quickly change the camera orientation from landscape to portrait using the 90 notch.

Great ball head, good price

By Qiang Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2023-01-02

I bought this to replace manfrotto 496rc2 head since I want a arca swiss clip. This ball head is very well made. The controls seems very price. It holds my gear very securely. I have the Canon 6d and 16-35, 70-200, 24-105 f4’s. There may be a bit creep for 70-200. But that is tolerable.

Very well-made. Excellent product

This is a fantastic ball head. The build quality is awesome. It’s made of aircraft-grade aluminum, and you can tell. Feels well-machined, smooth, and strong. Specs say it can hold 35 pounds which is really impressive, but I’m not surprised considering how well it is made. I attached my Canon 5d with no problems. It held it in place easily. It comes with an Arca-type quick release receiver and plate, which is fantastic. I have a bunch of products that use Arca, so it meshes well with a lot of my other gear. Having a tension control is also very helpful. I love this feature. Makes adjustments of the head easy, smooth and safe. You can also customize the resistance to the size of the camera mounted or the moves you are trying to make. Love that. The separate locking nob works well also. Comes with a nice 90-degree notch to lock it in place for vertical shots. This is fairly common for ball heads, but still nice to have and this one locks in place very securely. The panoramic base works well and having degrees listed could also come in handy and is a nice addition. I combined this head with Oben tripod legs I already owned and it worked well with it. Again, I’m very impressed with this ball head. Its extremely well built and designed. it’s a pleasure to work with. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

I have lots of Ball Heads and some much more expensive than this Robus 1030 WOW! what a Ball Head this thing is built like a tank, and operates smooth as silk and the 35LB rating is more like 55LB don’t miss out if you’re looking for a great ball head.

Small, Lightweight and Solid as a Rock!

I was already using the larger Robus RTH-1050 for my full size setup (Nikon D850 and various lenses) and in the processing of switching to a mirrorless setup for hiking and backpacking. When Robus reached out and asked me if I wanted to give the new RTH-1030 a try, I couldn’t resist… Upon opening the box it was very noticeable how much smaller the RTH-1030 was compared to the RTH-1050. It’s also about half the weight which makes it great for longer hikes when weight is a factor. While it works perfect with my mirrorless setup, I can’t lie, It also works perfect with my full size setup. There have been a few times when I forgot to put the other tripod in the car. Built to true Robus standards and quality, this little ball head performs like a champ. No matter which tripod I pick for the day, I know my images will be sharp thanks to how solid and sturdy this ball head is. The RTH-1030 already now carries the bulk of my workload when I’m out in the field. I love the easy to use quick release plate and the tension controls. The tension controls make it super easy to work with when you need to move the camera between compositions while keeping the camera in place while shooting. I like to think of it as an extra security feature. If your camera doesn’t have in internal level, this ball head has one for you. If you have any questions about this ball head please ask and I’ll be happy to answer them for you. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]
