Product details

The NOVOFLEX MagicBall has revolutionized the world of tripod heads with its exceptional design. After 20 successful years, it is now time to further develop it. Thanks to the new inverted housing, photographers can achieve an enormous adjustment range of nearly 240° through the ball. A shift of the camera from landscape to portrait orientation is possible at any time, even without a perfectly aligned tripod. The highlight, however, is the unleashed ball from the base housing, which supports all conceivable shooting situations. In conjunction with the guiding rail and the support foot of the MB FREE SET, photography can be done while stabilizing both directly on the body and on a variety of possible surfaces. Camera pans for video recordings are now also feasible without complex rig systems.

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.
