Ask your seller to separate the QR clamp from the Ball Head!

In the current batches (2011 and on) of all Benro B & J series ball heads, the screw studs are glued very tightly by the manufacturer, and it is nearly impossible to loosen it by users with the simple hex key. So if you are planning to separate the QR clamp like the one in the photos, please ask your supplier to loosen it for you before purchasing.

Quick Release Clamp is separated from the ball head.

Close up - the tip of ball head after the QR clamp was separated.

Please don't do it yourself, otherwise you will get your hex key bent, or even make scratches on the ball head!

Our eBay store provides the service for free, please contact us. :-)

New Security Lock Design of Benro Ball Heads

Currently some buyers ask us about the new mechanism of the Benro B series ball heads... "Hey, I can't release the QR plate from the ball head, the knob stopped loosening at halfway with only click sounds! Is it malfunctioning? Or is it a trick to make it open?"

It's surely not malfunctioning. It's actually the new Security Lock Design of the Benro B series ball heads, to prevent accidental dropping of the mounted equipment.

Benro Universal Quick Release L Plates

In early 2012, Benro released two models of universal quick release L plates, MPU100 and MPU105.

MPU100

MPU105

The L plates are light and handy, and are designed for cameras WITHOUT vertical grip. Using the plates, you can switch your camera orientation easily without rotating your ball head. Both of them are Arca-Swiss compatible, fitting wide range of gears.
