The Backcountry Lite Ball Head is the perfect ball head for alpine hunters, boasting lightness, simplicity, toughness, and user-friendliness (all the essential traits!) - we couldn't have asked for more!
Design Features:
Weight is critical on backcountry hunts, and this skeletonized ball head comes in at only 4.8 oz.
Arca-Swiss dovetail for a wide range of compatibility. (1X quick release plate included)
1/4 Turn Quick Locking lever makes adjustments fast and easy.
Compact height of just 2.5" gives a low center of gravity and saves space in the pack.
3/8-16 Mounting socket; universal to nearly all tripods.
Used this head while on a recent whitetail hunt. My 10 year old son was shooting my custom .300 win mag with an MDT HNT26 chassis. The chassis secured firmly to the head and my son was able to take his first buck at 278 yards. I believe this is a game changer for youth hunters and anyone who wants a solid attachment to there rifle system. Looking forward to using this on future hunts this spring on bears.

Compact Ball head
This ball head is small, compact, and light weight. All the things I was looking for in a complete package, if your a ball head guy give this a try. It is exactly what I was looking for in a compact ball head.
