POD 3PSHPGQA Pistol Grip Ballhead
FOREWORD
The 3POD Pistol Grip Ballhead has excellent features that make it a winning
choice to allow your camera to be aimed at your subject in the quickest
possible moment.
Traditional grip heads came in the “joystick” configuration, with the ball on
the tripod, the grip straight up in the air, and the camera mounted on top of
that. By placing the camera mount directly on the ball, the 3POD Pistol Grip
Ballhead maintains the stability of the tripod base regardless of
configuration and orientation. The versatile 3POD Pistol Grip Ballhead can be
configured in three ways: Righty, Lefty, and Joystick. The camera mount plate
can be moved to create a grip head designed for grip with the right hand or
left hand, or the camera mount plate can be set on the end of the grip in the
traditional “Joystick” configuration. Additionally, the camera mount plate can
be mounted at 3 possible angles in the Righty or Lefty setup for maximum
comfort and grip control. The tension control on the grip head can also be
adjusted. This allows less pressure to move the ball head with lighter rigs or
firmer support when mounting heavier camera and lens combinations.
The 3POD Pistol Grip Ballhead also features an industry-standard Arca quick-
release plate. Follow these simplified illustrative instructions for easy
shooting.

- Fastest one-hand adjustments possible; simply squeeze to adjust and release to lock position.

O! The Joy of It All!
The Arca QR System can be positioned in three handy configurations.
Left Hand
How to Change the Plate Receiver Position
- The ease of placing the Arca QR Receiver on the Pistol Grip is quick and straightforward.
- Loosen the two Allen key screws counterclockwise.
- Remove the Arca Plate Receiver and place it over the area you wish to mount.
- Replace the screws and righty-tighty the bolts in the two mating holes, and go for it!
Now that you have a handle on how to shoot with the pistol grip, practice
until you feel one with the piece. The grip will become second nature to your
way of work, providing you with freedom of movement and confidence you have
rarely experienced.
As we say in the creative realm, “Go For It!”
