Novoflex Classic Ball 5 II

Version II features a "true" panorama panning base with 360° laser engraved scaling at the bottom of the housing. To make use of the panorama function the ball head is being turned upside down thus allowing a 100% accurate leveling to avoid a sloped horizon while doing panorama shots. To support the leveling, the CB5 II comes with an integrated bubble level. The necessity to lengthen and shorten the legs of your tripod/Quadropod to adjust no longer exists.

  • Three vertical 90° openings for the ball neck
  • AFC (advanced friction control) system for precisely repeatable and defined friction preset
  • No more fumbling for friction, locking and panning knobs
  • Absolutely no change of ball position during locking

One glance at the Classic Ball, with its understated matte titanium finish, and it's clear that this is a high-precision instrument made to last.

In line with Novoflex's well-known product policy, the Classic Ball is an all-metal design incorporating advanced polymer materials.
As with other Novoflex products, the Classic Ball was developed and is manufactured entirely at the company's plant in Memmingen, Germany.
The Classic Ball has three 90° openings to take the ball neck that significantly increase the vertical adjustment range of the head. The camera can swing smoothly through 180° vertically. Equally important is that having three 90° openings
has been achieved with no loss of stability.

Working on the Classic Ball, Novoflex development engineers aimed first and foremost to meet photographers' requirement for a precisely
controllable and repeatable friction adjustment (braking) for the ball. The result was the AFC (advanced friction adjustment). Integrated here
for the first time, AFC allows photographers to set the friction on a setting ring in the center of the ball head. In other words, they can set the
correct braking rate of the ball even before he attaches camera and lens. This is finally the end of trial and error adjustment. Getting the right
setting is now child's play, even with weighty telephoto lenses.

In contrast to other ball heads of this type, the Classic Ball makes it possible to lock the ball in position without any risk of even a slight shift in
position. This feature comes into its own in macro photography where it is essential not to disturb the setting of a shot.
As one would expect from a product of this caliber, the Classic Ball provides integrated 360° panning and two camera threads (1/4" and 3/8").
The ball support is permanently grease-free.

All adjusting elements have been optimized for easy operation even under very difficult conditions. Photographers working in very low
temperatures, for example, can set and check all functions reliably without removing their gloves.
In designing the Classic Ball, Novoflex engineers drew on practical experience and their deep knowledge of the problems encountered by
professional photographers in their daily work. The company has gone to great lengths to achieve high stability and excellent resistance to
vibration.
