TacShot Pistol Grip Ball Head

The Opteka TS-1 TacShot Pistol Grip Ball Head  is a compact and convenient trigger-style tactical ballhead, designed for lightweight video or still photography.

The TacShot's body is crafted from high impact polycarbonate with the ball head and internal assemblies made from high quality aluminum. A bull's eye style single bubble level helps quickly achieve a perfectly level shot with just a glance at your hand. The included quick release plates allow you to remove your camera at a moment's notice.
