A Hasselblad ball head, small type, with a small (fine-thread) tripod screw. With an overall height of just 58mm, this is a remarkably small and charming ball head. It is slimmer and even more compact than the Leitz FOOMI small ball head.
An accessory from the 1600F/1000F era, believed to have been manufactured in the 1950s. It bears the old-style V marking.
Even with a heavy camera mounted, operating the lever locks it firmly in place. Although its holding power is not quite as strong as that of larger ball heads, its compact size and adorable appearance are extremely appealing. A truly well-made ball head.
Rare item.
There are some minor scuffs and scratches, but the overall appearance is good. The lever and ball head function properly, and movement is smooth.
Due to their design, this type of ball head may leave concentric circular marks on the camera body when attached. We do not recommend using it on a camera body in pristine condition.
A nice addition to your collection!
