Announcement of Sunwayfoto XB-28II Low Profile Double Panning Ball Head

About 18 months after the introduction of the smallest member in their XB series of low profile ball heads specifically the Sunwayfoto XB-28 Low Profile and Lightweight Ball Head  Sunwayfoto has just released its Mk II sibling.

The new Mk II version, as obvious from the illustration, is almost identical with its predecessor but for a small panning  base inserted below the quick release clamp. Which gives it the double panning attribute, making it ideal for leveled panoramic work.
