Sirui BH-60 2-in-1 Photo & Video Head review: a head with a split personality, it’s got both stills and video on its mind
The Sirui BH-60 2-in-1 Photo & Video Head is a chunky ball head with no less than three selectable operating modes, and a couple of compromises
The Sirui BH-60 2-in-1 Photo & Video Head is a versatile tripod head designed for both still photography and videography. It merges the features of a traditional ball head and a videography head, enabling users to switch between stills and video modes with ease. Priced at $219 / £199 / AU$355, the Sirui BH-60 competes favorably with other hybrid heads on the market.
The head boasts a 360-degree panning range and a tilt range of +/-40 degrees, with a maximum load rating of 20kg / 44lb. Its Arca-Swiss QR plate is compatible with various camera brands and sizes. The head measures 84x90x131mm and weighs 950g / 2.1lb.
The design focuses on smooth movement and firm lock-off for both still and video. The oversized 60mm ball-and-socket design ensures stability and minimal sag. A mode selector ring on the side of the head allows users to toggle between three modes: Photo Mode for unrestricted movement, Transition Mode for smooth transitions, and Video Mode for tilt and pan restrictions. A separate panning base with a 360-degree range complements the ball-and-socket arrangement, providing precise control over camera positioning.
