Product details

Novoflex MagicBall Free 50 Set

The Novoflex MagicBall revolutionized the world of tripod heads with its exceptional design. The MagicBall Free 50 expands this construction in a brilliant way. Like the original MagicBall, the housing is inverted. This ingenious design allows the ball to be virtually unleashed, providing an impressive adjustment range of nearly 240°. Switching the camera from landscape to portrait orientation is always possible without the need for a perfectly aligned tripod.

A unique feature is the removable ball, which serves as a quick-release mechanism and can also be optimally used to stabilize the camera during handheld shots. Even short camera pans for video recordings can be executed without complicated rig systems. In combination with the included bowl and a supporting foot that is also part of the package, photography is possible both directly at the body and on a variety of different surfaces.

Another highlight: The MagicBall Free 50 can be easily converted into a standard MagicBall with just a few adjustments. The MagicBall Free 50 is compatible with all common tripods with 1/4" or 3/8" connections and, unlike the smaller MagicBall Free, is also suitable for heavy equipment.

The set includes the ball, housing, bowl, and supporting foot.

Novoflex MB Free 50 scores with robust construction, good workmanship, great freedom of movement and easy handling. It is a fast head, but not always the most precise, because you do everything freely by eye. Panning around the own axis is possible, but hardly as smooth as with a real panorama axis. The holding force is high, even if not bombproof. MB Free 50 is not cheap.

  • PositiveWorkmanship, handling and performance: all top. The system is very well thought-out and flexible.
  • NegativeThe ball is a little stiff in the bearing shell at the beginning, which may make smooth movements difficult.

Those who value maximum flexibility but at the same time depend on effective camera stabilisation should take a closer look at the Novoflex MagicBall Free 50.
