Slik AF-1100E Pistol Grip Head w/Quick Release | Supports 6.5 lb (2.9 kg)

The Slik AF-1100 Pistol Grip with Quick Release Ballhead is marketed by Slik as the "Digital Little Brother" of the popular AF-2100, is more compact and light-weight than it predecessor, making it a perfect fit for today's high end digital point and shoot cameras as well as the latest compact digital SLR's (e.g. Olympus C-8080, E-300, Canon PRO 1, Digital Rebel XT). The Slik AF-1100 uses a patented design that allows the trigger handle to release tension on the ball when it is squeezed and lock the ball head in any position by simply releasing the trigger handle. This innovative action allows the camera to be pointed in almost any direction with ease, making a tripod mounted camera feel like more of an extension of the body.
