The Founder of Photo Clam
Stemming from personal frustration with existing ball heads on the market, president and founder of Photo Clam Jung Gwan-Sung decided to build something better. "When I began using ball heads I can't explain how frustrated I was. They were always moving, falling, not locking into place, or worse getting oil and grease on me and my camera. I went out and bought every product on the market, only to find that not one within the same price range performed up to my expectations. As an engineer I knew I could build something better, and one day I did: we created high-quality products at an affordable price. " Photo Clam's precision manufacturing techniques have eliminated virtually of the problems commonly associated with ball heads.
"As photographers ourselves, we love to hear feedback from our users. It is very important to us to design products that deliver real benefits to real photographers, " said Gwan-Sung. "As a result of that focus on the end-user, Photo Clam has enjoyed a positive reception internationally, and we are hoping to enjoy more of the same as we make our debut in the American market. "

At a recent Photo Clam demo event in New York City, professional photographer Srojan Stojikjovic from New York City was astounded by the product's quality and design. "There is no margin for error when I shoot. Once you miss the shot it's gone," said Stojikjovic. "It's that uncertainty that has driven my aversion to using ball heads in the past, but this product may put an end to that. "
George Lekovic, founder and director of New York's Kinokamera photo/production studio said, "Photo Clam surpasses any ball head on the market with user friendly features, adjustable quick release system with easy-to-use safety lock, and it is compatible with all types of media. It is excellent value for any photographer. "

Features
Easy to handle plate clamp - The knob is located on the side of the quick shoe, which allows for fast and easy handling of the plate clamp. Powerful Main Ball - The load capacity of the ball is key to the ballhead's ability to securely hold at any angle with no slipping or distortion. Ultimate Multi-Functional Grip - The main handle has a dial labeled on a scale from 1 to 12, allowing for free movement of the ball head. By turning the dial knob clockwise, friction increases, locking the ball head into position.
