The Kupo KS-417 is a super knuckle style ball head assembly that features a double socket arm and a ball head at each end. You lock both ends using the central control knob. This design provides a flexible solution for secure mounting and accurate positioning of a wide range of devices.
The KS-417 uses a die-cast aluminum alloy for the shell, ball heads and control knob. This construction makes the unit strong yet lightweight. The ball head surface is hard-anodized and serrated so the shell can grip it more securely and the surface offers increased resistance to weather.
The shell includes two deeper side cuttings to enable a greater tilt-down angle. A built-in silicon rubber sleeve keeps the assembly together during ball head changes, making maintenance and component swaps simpler and safer. The double-socket arrangement lets you interchange components for tailored setups.
The KS-417 suits many industries and uses. It works well for:
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Overall length | 151 mm (5.95") |
| Loading capacity | 8 kg |
| Weight | 50 g |
| Ball head diameter | 26 mm |
| Thread | M6 male (CNC aluminum ball head, 4 cm length) |
Question: Can I use the KS-417 to mount both cameras and monitors?
Answer: Yes. The double sockets and interchangeable ball heads make it suitable for cameras and external monitors, as well as other devices such as tablets and lighting accessories.
Question: How does the central knob function affect positioning?
Answer: The central knob locks both ball heads simultaneously, allowing quick adjustments and secure locking of the entire arm for precise positioning.
Question: Is the KS-417 weather resistant?
Answer: The ball head surface is hard-anodized and serrated to improve grip and increase resistance to weathering; however, typical outdoor care and protection are recommended depending on conditions.
Question: What benefit does the silicon rubber sleeve provide?
Answer: The built-in silicon rubber sleeve holds the unit together during ball head changes, making maintenance and component swaps more reliable and easier to perform.
Question: What is the maximum load I can mount on this knuckle?
Answer: The KS-417 has a loading capacity of 8 kg, which covers many common camera, monitor and accessory setups within that limit.
