Kupo KS-409 Ball Head – CNC Aluminum Ball with 1/4”-20 Quick Release Bracket
The Kupo KS-409 is a super knuckle style ball head that offers versatile mounting and positioning. It combines a double-socket arm with a ball head at each end and locks securely with a centre knob. Additionally, it includes a CNC aluminum ball with a 1/4”-20 Quick Release Bracket for straightforward monitor and accessory mounting.
Key features
- Double socket arm with a ball head at each end, locked by the centre knob for secure positioning.
- Die-cast aluminum alloy shell that contributes to a sturdy yet lightweight construction.
- Standard Dia. 26mm ball head with hard anodized and serrated surface for better grip and weather resistance.
- Shell design with two deeper side cuttings to allow a greater tilt-down angle.
- Built-in silicon rubber sleeve that holds the unit together during ball head changes.
- Includes a CNC aluminum ball with a 1/4”-20 Quick Release Bracket for easy mounting of monitors and similar accessories.
Construction and design details
The KS-409 uses a die-cast aluminum alloy shell combined with aluminum ball components and a centre locking knob. This combination provides robustness while keeping overall weight manageable. The 26mm ball head is hard anodized and serrated, so the shell can grab it more effectively and the surface stays more resistant to weathering.
Moreover, the shell features two deeper side cuttings. As a result, the knuckle allows a larger tilt-down angle compared with a standard straight shell. For maintenance and quick swaps, the built-in silicon rubber sleeve keeps parts aligned and held together when you change the ball head.
Compatibility and use cases
The KS-409’s double sockets and ball heads permit interchangeability with various components. Therefore, you can combine it with other super knuckle accessories to suit different setups. Typical applications include:
- Lighting rigs and grip setups.
- Camera mounts and accessory arms.
- Monitor mounting solutions for on-set viewing.
- Mounting tablets, smart phones, and other mobile devices.
- Any situation where flexible positioning and secure locking are required.
