Product Description
A small, sophisticated video head featuring a unique extendable control handle with integrated hex key storage to ensure you’re never without essential tools.
The ProMaster Key Grip Video Head provides smooth pan and tilt adjustments and features a control handle with a soft, comfortable grip. This removable handle is extendable and locks in place with a twist. Unscrew the aluminum cap from the end of the Key Grip handle’s grip to reveal a set of hex keys! Two 4mm hex keys can be used together to adjust the bolts on a tripod leg or individually to secure the included quick release plate to a camera or cage. The included 2.5mm hex key can be used to adjust grub screws when mounting the head to a tripod or monopod.
This two-way head has separate panning and tilt movements, with etched scales for when precision is required. The tilt adjustment has tension control for smooth motions, and silver touch points help quickly identify the control knobs. Plus, it won’t let you down in the cold and is rated for use at -4°F / -20° C.
This head comes with the excellent 3398 Dovetail (arca-type) Quick Release Plate. This QR plate includes ¼”-20 and 3/8”-16 mounting bolts, both of which can be installed using either a flathead screwdriver or one of the two 4mm hex keys contained in the Key Grip’s handle. The plate also has a removable spring-loaded anti-twist pin. The QR plate is over 101mm long, making it easy to properly balance a camera rig. A scale on the QR platform lets you quickly repeat any given setup. The QR platform is also repositionable and can be changed from front-to-back to a side-to-side sliding direction! This is particularly useful for mounting a camera with a cage or L-bracket attached. The plate uses a safety bolt design to prevent a camera from accidentally sliding off the head’s platform, and its Dovetail connection is compatible with a wide variety of plates and accessories from ProMaster and other brands.
With a load capacity of 6.6 lbs, the Key Grip Video Head is ideal for a mirrorless video rig and works well for still photos too. Many telephoto lenses with Dovetail style (arca-compatible) tripod collars work extremely well with the Key Grip head in achieving excellent tracking for wildlife photography. It’s also a terrific choice for birding—two-way heads are ideal for spotting scopes and the compact, lightweight Key Grip won’t weigh you down when trekking outdoors.
