The U-80L Side Cold Shoe Ball Head from Ulanzi is a compact ball head with an integrated rotating accessory shoe, ideal for adding a microphone, LED light, or other accessory for vlog- or webcam-based recording. This durable magnesium and aluminum head may be easily attached to a regular or tabletop tripod, a selfie stick, or other regular mounts using its standard 1/4"-20 receiver base. The included slim-design Arca-type quick release plate includes safety stop screws to prevent a camera from releasing accidentally, and an anti-skid silicon pad to resist camera movement without marring its surface.
