The Novoflex MagicBall Free is a further development of the innovative MagicBall design which quite literally turns it on its head. The ball is released from the shell and attached to the base of a camera, where it becomes a comfortable and secure grip. It can then either be used in conjunction with the small Shell, which screws either to the supplied short leg for use as a mobile steadying support, or to a monopod or anything with a ¼” screw. For tripod use, the ball is placed in the head housing and locked in position with a lever, whereupon it becomes a conventional MagicBall, albeit inverted (it can also be used in ‘normal’ orientation).
