Hydrostatic Head RC5 The NGEH1 and NGEH2 heads are simply the most advanced ball heads in the world, incorporating the innovative hydrostatic locking system to produce an absolute rock-solid lock with the small turn of a knob. Using hydraulics instead of a mechanical approach produces a supertight lock with minimal amounts of knob turning. The effect produced is a smooth moving ball that when locked, essentially becomes a solid part with the head. This revolutionary head uses the latest materials for silky-smooth operation, and its magnesium shell is feather light. Ideal for photographers using large telephoto lenses, the NGEH1 is easy to operate, with a newly designed, large ergonomic handle with precise friction adjustment. A rubber bellows system prevents dirt and debris from entering the ball area, ensuring problem-free photography even in the most extreme locations.
