Sirui BH-60 Combines Ball and Fluid Head Modes in One Tripod System

other · 2026-10-20

The Sirui BH-60 is a unique tripod head that merges two styles into one sturdy aluminum design, making it easy to switch between a ball head and fluid damping for video work. It has a Pan-Tilt Mode that provides smoother movement thanks to its built-in fluid damping, allowing a tilt of +/- 40 degrees. You can attach a 230mm (nine-inch) control handle on either side, which can be removed to lighten the setup for photography. The head features dual locks and a safety-equipped quick release plate, plus it's Arca-Swiss compatible. It can carry up to five kilograms (over 11 pounds), perfect for gear like the Sony a7R VI with a 70-200mm lens. Priced at $219 in the U.S. and €239 in Europe, it's available from Sirui and authorized sellers like B&H.
