darcy_cheung Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 <p>Hi, I recently purchase a Foba superball, but I realised the release arm is on the right hand side, I just can't figure out how can I switch the arm to the other side, if anyone can tell me what I should do.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akira Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 <p>Hi Darcy,</p> <p>I have Mini Superball which should have the same construction. The position of the release arm is fixed and cannot be switched. The other lever/knob is a friction control but somehow it can be used as release knob. If you don't need to tilt the camera way down, you can simply rotate the ballhead 180 digree so that the release arm comes to the left hand side.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy_cheung Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 <p>Akira, thank you for your reply, however, I do see some pictures that the release arm is on the left hand side, yesterday, I tried to unscrew the arm, and there is a square stud all the way to the other side of the ballhead, you can fee it l if you move the stud, unfortunately, I cannot pull the stud out, I wonder there should be a way to pull it out. If the arm is on the left hand side that will be perfect, since I can hold the camera by right hand and lock the head the other side,seems this make more sense and logic to me. I don't understand why Foba do the arm like this. May be there is a reason that I don't understand.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
