This accessory is from the estate of a skilled professionals interior photographer. His gear fed his family, so he took exceptional care of it. This tripod head is two machined hunks of aluminum. It was made in Switzerland. You are looking at a top-of-the-line item that was babied, for a good price. If you are reading this, you are also a serious photographer who knows what this is. Details below. If you decide to purchase this, know that you are also helping the family of a skilled photographer and artist who was taken from us too soon.
From Foba, describing the "Plus" model. This head does not have levers. Look at the photos, please.

Foba Superball, made with precision, is one of the strongest fixation devices on the market today. Large locking levers make the heads very easy to handle. They lock down firmly with just a twist.
User-adjustable tension allows fine-tuning the performance of the ball to suit the shooting situation, as well as to compensate for wear over the life of the ball, which sits in a Teflon collar for smooth rotation.
