Acratech's new Ultimate Ballhead weighs less than a pound and can support more than 25 pounds. The unique design features an exposed ball that's locked down with an angled clamp. It may look unorthodox but it works like a charm. And if you are concerned about dust, sand, grit or other contaminants, the open structure alleviates any potential problems.

One of the maintenance tips is to simply clean the ball with a damp cloth. This is a feature not available on other ballheads. On most the ball is covered and you can't get to the ball itself. Not so here. The head resembles a gyro in appearance and all parts are easily viewed and accessible. A valuable feature.

On the personal side the benefits are many. Pride of ownership. This is a beautiful crafted piece. It's picture on the website doesn't do it justice. Black and CNC precision machined, it is sleek, almost sexy. It's engraved timing marks are exactly 1/2 degrees apart making a line corresponding on the ballhead body easy to use and a thing of beauty to look at.

The package arrived via UPS..... As I held the box, I found myself wondering if there was anything in there at all..... The fact that I even stopped to wonder if the package contained anything speaks volumes about its weight.
