All New Markins Q-Balls
Unmatched Strength and Smooth Operation
 |
We are very excited to announce all new Q-Balls.
Available immediately,
there are numerous improvements in all new 2007 models from the highly acclaimed previous models.
These improvements are the fruits of our constant research and developments.
We always try to think from a photographer's point of view.
Available models are Q3, M10, and M20.

| Highlights and Features |
- Q-Balls are now lighter than ever.
M10 is now weighing a mere 498g (1.1 lbs), and breaks the half kilo barrier.
M10 is easily capable of handling a 90 lbs of load. This translates to a load/weight ratio
over 80. No other competitors' products are even close to this performance.
- The progressive tension control provides an unmatched strength and smoothness
without any "locking-up" problem by using the unique triple action biaxial controlling mechanism.
- The patent pending new fluid style
main tension control knob provides precision handling, smooth operation, lighter weight and durability.
- Markins Q-Balls are the only ballheads with hard-anodized surface.
A hard-anodized surface is so durable and scratch resistant that it is 30% stronger than stainless steel.
- The new gray label on the main
control is color-calibrated to an 18% gray card. It can be conveniently used a gray card for digital photography.
Our popular Q-Balls with left-handed controls are very convenient for portrait (vertical)
photography. The ballhead controls are on the 180-degree opposite side, so you don't have to go around the ballhead to adjust it.- The center bolt is now a precision machined
titanium bolt. It is light weight but stronger than ever.
- Engraved degree markings for panoramic photography.
- The clamp knob is now captive style.
It stops at a maximum opening. Not only it is more convenient, but it can't get lost by unscrewing off.
It is smooth and released by less than 2 full turns, faster than any other competitors' clamp.
- The patented spring loaded detent pin prevents your valuable
equipment from accidentally sliding out.
- Applicable to all Markins products, all the corners and edges are rounded
by a super-finishing barreling method.
So it won't damage your valuable other equipment.
