Ultradyne Orbit Ballhead

In recent times, tripods have proven to be an effective foundation for delivering long shots on target, which is where Ultradyne’s Orbit Ballhead comes into play.

A support solution for tripods with 3/8x16 TPI studs and firearms with ARCA, A.R.M.S. 17S or Picatinny rails, the ball-in-socket arrangement makes for smooth operation with rigid lockup thanks to the built-in adjustment wheel at its rear, providing for simple operation with full range of motion while never requiring users to break their cheek weld.

Comprised of hardcoat-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum and nitride-treated 416 stainless steel, the 16.3-oz. unit pairs well with the UD Grasp Gun Vise ($249) and Launch Pad ($249).

MSRP for the Ultradyne Orbit Ballhead is $249. For more information, visit ultradyneusa.com.
