Novoflex has a history of making unusual photographic and cinematic accessories that stretches back over 70 years, predating most of us, myself included. Nowadays, the vast majority of camera kit is made in the Far East, often made in countries where manufacturing costs are relatively inexpensive (or downright cheap). By contrast, Novoflex kit is still made in Germany and is renowned for being precision-engineered. That certainly applies to this tripod head, which is immaculately crafted, as well as being somewhat unique in its design. It’s certainly like no other ball head that I’ve ever used. Even so, it’s not exactly new, being a Design Award Winner all the way back in 1998.
