## Description

Product Description The XPRO Ball Head features technical solutions and standout design, for unrivalled precision and performance. It makes you feel completely secure, even when using high-end, heavy camera gear. With a brand triple locking system, the XPRO Ball Head guarantees camera position stability. Avoiding drift, thanks to three wedges that enclose and block the sphere, you will capture shake-free shots every single time.Friction control helps you balance the weight of camera equipment. And thanks to the two levelling bubbles, fine adjustments can be made with the locking knobs open. Plus, its polymer rings have done away with that unpleasant, messy grease - ensuring smooth and accurate camera movement. This product is also portable. With a magnesium body, it is lightweight and reliable: Weighing in at only 0.52 kg while supporting up to 15 kg of payload. For swifter and easier setup the camera is inserted from above, rather than from the side. And it is safer too. When the plate engages with the clamp, it releases a safety mechanism to keep your camera from falling. The XPRO Ball Head comes with Top Lock, the Arca-Swiss compatible MSQ6PL plate - a solution compared to other Arca-Swiss style adapters. Base Type : 45 mm, Base Diameter : 60 mm Top Attachment : 0.635 cm screw, 0.9525 cm thread female Top Attachment : 0.635 cm screw, 0.9525 cm thread female Box Contains Manfrotto XPRO Ball Head wit Top Lock - MHXPRO-BHQ6

Review: Another great Manfrotto ball head! - Deciding to update my long-time ball-head, I looked at various alternatives. However, I kept coming back to Manfrotto. I wanted to switch up my system with an L-bracket for my camera, and needed an Arca-Swiss style head to be able to accommodate this change. This new Manfrotto head is lovely.. Lighter than my previous one, and very secure when tightened, it feels great to use when I'm out landscaping. The adjustment now possible for the friction on the head while it is unlocked is very useful, meaning you can set the friction level to suit your hands and movements then easily tighten everything back up with one twist of the main lever. I'm delighted with it - it's another quality head from Manfrotto, and at a very competitive price point for an Arca Swiss compatible clamp.
Review: Excellent ball head - A well made and compact piece of equipment. All movements are fluid and the locking levers are substantial and work well. The bubble levels are well placed and make life so much easier. I am using it with a Canon 5D4 and it carries that well. I haven't used it with my Rolleiflex 2.8C yet so can't comment on its medium format performance. Has replaced a Kennet 3-way pan and tilt head dating from the mid 80's and the 200PL is a god send compared to the struggle with fixing a camera to the Kennet and its fustrating screws and lock nut design. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great Manfrotto ball head!
*by N***E on 8 February 2017*

Deciding to update my long-time ball-head, I looked at various alternatives. However, I kept coming back to Manfrotto. I wanted to switch up my system with an L-bracket for my camera, and needed an Arca-Swiss style head to be able to accommodate this change. This new Manfrotto head is lovely.. Lighter than my previous one, and very secure when tightened, it feels great to use when I'm out landscaping. The adjustment now possible for the friction on the head while it is unlocked is very useful, meaning you can set the friction level to suit your hands and movements then easily tighten everything back up with one twist of the main lever. I'm delighted with it - it's another quality head from Manfrotto, and at a very competitive price point for an Arca Swiss compatible clamp.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent ball head
*by P***S on 1 July 2021*

A well made and compact piece of equipment. All movements are fluid and the locking levers are substantial and work well. The bubble levels are well placed and make life so much easier. I am using it with a Canon 5D4 and it carries that well. I haven't used it with my Rolleiflex 2.8C yet so can't comment on its medium format performance. Has replaced a Kennet 3-way pan and tilt head dating from the mid 80's and the 200PL is a god send compared to the struggle with fixing a camera to the Kennet and its fustrating screws and lock nut design. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MSQ6PL version is ‘Arca Swiss’ fit
*by S***E on 4 October 2025*

Manfrotto has gained an excellent reputation for manufacturing quality camera supports and I would say that this XPRO Ball Head with its MSQ6PL ‘Arca Swiss' compatible Quick Release (QR) Plate is a good example of the quality of their designs and of their high build-quality. Importantly for me, this Manfrotto XPRO Head with MSQ6PL Plate enables the use of more universal ‘Arca fit’ attachments such as an L-Bracket for example. Worth noting about the Manfrotto XPRO Ball Head is that it's available in two versions - the 'PL200' version features Manfrotto's own designed Q/R Plate and it's NOT cross compatible with Arca Swiss Q/R Plates; and the ‘MSQ6PL’ version which comes with an 'Arca Swiss compatible' Plate. While looking into buying this new Tripod Head, I couldn't help notice that there seems to be a lot of 'misleading marketing info’ surrounding Arca Swiss Plates etc., with descriptions such as "Arca Swiss Type or Style" suggesting compatibility, but beware as a lot of them actually are NOT ! However, in my opinion at least, if you don't specifically have a need for using any Arca Swiss Plates etc, Manfrotto's own PL200 Q/R Plate System is extremely good; certainly as secure as the Arca Swiss System, and arguably slightly easier to use. This product is nicely made and finished, feels solid and is moderately lightweight weighing in at about 1/2 Kg (500g), and I would recommend it to anyone.
