The iFootage BQ-75 is a 75mm half ball adapter designed to mount flat base tripod heads onto 75mm bowl tripods and supports. Built from aluminium alloy and stainless steel, it provides a secure, stable connection while allowing quick levelling adjustments typical of bowl-based systems.

A key feature is the quick release tie-down mechanism. Instead of threading the tie-down fully up and down the shaft each time, the release button allows it to slide into position instantly—saving time during setup and breakdown, especially on fast-paced shoots.

Who this is for

• Videographers using flat base heads who want bowl levelling
• Solo shooters who need faster setup and adjustments
• Tripod users working across mixed support systems
• Crews switching between different head types on set

At a glance

• Converts flat base heads to 75mm bowl compatibility
• 3/8"-16 threaded stud for standard head mounting
• Quick release tie-down for faster setup
• Compatible with most 75mm bowls, including third-party
• Aluminium alloy and stainless steel construction

How it works

75mm Half Ball Adapter
Sits inside a standard 75mm bowl, allowing smooth levelling adjustments without adjusting tripod legs.

3/8"-16 Threaded Stud
Attaches directly to the base of most flat base tripod heads, ensuring broad compatibility.

Quick Release Tie-Down
Slides up the threaded shaft at the press of a button, letting you position and secure the head quickly. Once aligned, a simple twist locks everything in place. For removal, loosen slightly, press the release, and slide it free.

Why choose this product

Traditional tie-down systems can slow you down, especially when switching setups or working under time pressure. The BQ-75 simplifies this process, reducing setup time while maintaining a secure hold. It’s a practical upgrade for anyone moving between flat base and bowl-based systems.

Ideal uses

• Documentary and run-and-gun filming
• Studio setups with frequent head swaps
• Location shoots requiring quick levelling
• Hybrid tripod systems with mixed head types
