## Overview

Supporting up to 35kg, it features a 360° rotatable base ideal for panoramic photography, a sophisticated multi-lock safety system preventing accidental slips, and Arca-Swiss compatibility for quick, secure camera mounting. Designed for professional photographers demanding stability, smooth operation, and versatile compatibility across tripods, monopods, and camera sliders.

## Description

Product Description SIRUI ball heads are manufactured with extreme precision and the utmost care. The high quality of the tripod heads is ensured by high-end CNC milling and a high quality surface finish. The KX series has a maximum tolerance of 0.01mm between the ball and the bearing. The K-40X works accurately and smoothly and has a firm grip on your camera. The base can be rotated by 360°, ideal for panoramic shots. The locking knob for the ball can be limited using a scale in the end stop. This means that you can adjust the movement of the head to your individual camera. For example, this prevents excessive release of the ball and unintentional tilting of the camera. The Safety Lock System prevents quick release plates from slipping. The release plate mount is compatible with the Arca Swiss system and allows various plates to be used. Box Contains SIRUI K-40X Ball Head, TY-70-2 Plate, Bag

Review: Worth the money. - The bees knees! Really nice smooth operation I didn't realise the difference a quality ball-head could make to mounting a camera on a tripod. Has a nice steady movement unlike cheaper ball heads there is no discernible shift in view when you lock it. Fantastic bit of kit.
Review: Superb ball head - I should start by saying that I have used the ball head a lot during a trip to the Lake district, but have only owned it for a short time and therefore cannot comment on its long term performance. So far, though, it has met all my expectations if not exceeded them. For me; this replaces a Giottos head for use with a Nikon D610 and various lenses, and it is superior in every way. The ball head exudes a feel of quality. The friction adjustment being built into the ball-lock works very well, and in practical use at speed or in the dark is much better, in my opinion, than the dual knobs that some other heads, like my Giottos or the Benro head that I also considered, use. With those, it is easy to inadvertently undo the friction control instead of the main one when changing the composition, losing the friction setting and having the camera tend to flop around. Not a very big deal, but a small irritation that doesn't exist with this design. Contrary to some comments I have read, I found the friction adjustment is easy and intuitive, works perfectly, and only needs thumb pressure to achieve. The "safety pin" that stops the camera plate accidentally sliding out works perfectly with the Benro custom (for D610) plate I have just bought. Now the camera cannot twist on the plate and the whole thing is rock solid on the K-30X. It's about as fast as any quick release to fit and remove, and can't slide out if left a bit loose. And of course it is Arca-Swiss compatible, which was essential to me. There is no slop whatsoever in the panning bearing, this was the thing I disliked about the Giottos head; but I make this comment cautiously as wear and tear over time may be relevant. Everything works very smoothly indeed. And finally, having carefully looked at reviews, I did expect there to be a small but noticeable shift in the camera's position when the ball is tightened to lock; the most irritating aspect of a ball head. In fact, I have not been able to detect any at all, therefore critical composition is very easy. This alone prompted me to make the effort to write a fairly detailed review. Products like this deserve to be recommended. I haven't used them, but at present I can't see how the really up-market heads from Kirk or RRS could possibly be better than this, but once again there is the caveat that I can't comment on long term reliability and that is also of paramount importance. If any issues do arise, and I see no reason why they might as this thing seems beautifully made, I will add a new comment here.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding quality! Perfect UNLESS you're a cage user...
*by N***Y on 12 August 2018*

CONTROLS: The control knobs completely clamp the head solid without a lot of force required which is nice, and they turn with a fluid damped feel to them which gives a nice professional feel. You have control knobs for: - Main, customizable control knob for camera angle. - Head rotation. - ARCA mount clamp. ARCA MOUNT and PLATE: The ARCA mount plate has red retractable camera guides (pictured) that can (depending on how far forward or aft you have your camera mounted on the plate) help your camera sit perfectly straight and not twist on the plate. It has three different spirit levels, making it easy to get the camera level in any plane you want! UNLESS you own a cage.... CAGE USERS: If you have a cage with the ARCA mount machined into the cage itself you have to mount it 90° different from a camera... Meaning the main large spirit level is now on the side of the camera, and therefore rendered useless. So you'll only have the all axis bubble level to try and gauge what's level. HEAD ROTATION: At the bottom of the head is an angle indicator, allowing you to take panoramic shots at certain angle intervals (locking each time with a dedicated control knob), allowing for an easier stitch together later in software. NEOPRENE POUCH: Annoying! They've tapered the top in too much, so it's really difficult to get the head back in. I just leave the head on the tripod and use the pouch as a handy pouch for a waterproof camera poncho/memory cards/etc. OVERALL: Really nice high quality head.... perfect for all photographers that don't use cages with machined in ARCA mounts, or if they do, cage users that aren't fussed about losing the spirit level! You really can't go wrong with this head! LOVE IT!
