We’ve partnered with Area 419 to bring you the Area 419 Dual PIC/ARCA Clamp, now available on our ballheads. This innovative clamping system, when used alongside the Area 419 Arcalock rail, effectively eliminates the unwanted forward movement that often occurs when a rifle is clamped into standard clamps. What's even better is that this clamp is fully compatible with any Arca-style rail on the market as well as pitanny rails , making it a perfect upgrade for any setup.

Application: Ideal for heavy-weight rifles (20 lbs & above), the Area 419 Dual PIC/ARCA Clamp offers unparalleled stability and security.

Additionally, the 65mm Dual Tension Ballhead has become increasingly popular since its launch. Featuring dual tension adjustments, it includes a large knob for coarse adjustment and a smaller knob for fine-tuning, allowing you to precisely dial in the perfect balance for your shooting style and needs. This flexibility has made it a favorite among shooters who demand accuracy and control.

Specifications:

  • Weight: 1 lb 14 oz
  • Dual Tension Fine/Coarse Adjustment
  • Attaches to tripods with a 3/8" or 1/4" male stud
  • UPC: 850044845354

With these features, the 65mm Dual Tension Ballhead and Area 419 Dual PIC/ARCA Clamp are the ultimate choice for precision shooting and heavy-duty setups.

Very stout and fluid head. I really like how you can adjust the tension as well

Exceptional Engineering and Unmatched Versatility
Written by Blaine Brawley on Mar 4th 2026

The Two Vets 65mm Dual Tension Ballhead is a masterclass in purpose-built hardware. Having used several industry-standard heads for both precision rifle competition and long-range glassing, this unit stands out for its superior control and thoughtful integration. Key Observations: Precision Tension Management: The dual-tension system is the highlight of this head. It allows for a repeatable "drag" setting that prevents the rifle from flopping under its own weight while still permitting fluid tracking. The transition from a free-move state to a total lock-up is seamless and requires very little torque on the main knob. The Arcalock/Picatinny Hybrid Clamp: The dual-compatibility clamp is a significant logistical advantage. It eliminates the need for switching out heads or using clunky adapters when moving between Arca-Swiss rails and Picatinny-equipped platforms. The lockup is positive, with zero detectable movement once tightened. Stability and Load Bearing: The 65mm ball provides a massive amount of surface area, which is evident when mounting heavy, high-center-of-gravity systems. There is virtually no "point-of-aim shift" when tightening the head—a common frustration with smaller, lower-quality ballheads. Build Quality: The machining is clean, and the controls are ergonomically designed for use in inclement weather or while wearing gloves. It feels robust enough to withstand years of hard use in the field. Verdict: This is a professional-grade tool that solves the most common stability issues faced by precision shooters. While it is a premium investment, the versatility of the dual clamp and the security of the 65mm ball make it a definitive "buy once, cry once" piece of kit. Highly recommended for anyone looking to bridge the gap between stability and speed.

65mm Ball head
Written by Ryan on Feb 25th 2026

This thing is sweet! I was using the stock BOG setup, then came across this one. I applied for the military discount over a weekend. Daniel got me approved and got me the code that weekend. I placed my order, and they had it shipped out that Monday. Excellent product with even better customer service. You can tell that Two Vets actually care about you guys and their products!

Great upgrade
Written by William Rutherford on Feb 11th 2026

I swapped to this head for my primary tripod and couldn’t be happier. Ease of locking things down or allowing your rifle to move is significantly easier with the lever as opposed to the original ball. Really glad I made the swap.

great for shooting and glassing
Written by Justin B on Oct 22nd 2025

I paired this with the No Name V2 inverted tripod and it worked flawlessly on my moose hunt. I was able to easily and efficiently switch from the spotting scope to my rifle. It is smooth and doesn't come loose during extended glassing periods or when I have the 300WSM attached and take multiple shots. My rifle is about 10lbs and doesn't have a muzzle break or suppressor, so it has a good deal of recoil that this ballhead took without any issue. Highly recommend this if you need a ballhead that is bomb proof, solid performing, yet buttery smooth movement

65mm Ball Head
Written by Cody on Jun 1st 2025

This is a great product! I’ve used it with everything from my 25lb PRS rifle to my lightweight hunting rig. The movement is extremely smooth in all directions. The large handle to tighten the ball head took a little getting used to, compared to the knob on the smaller versions. All in all, this is a great product and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a ball head they can use on any type of rifle.

Super Stable!
Written by Brian on May 31st 2025

This head is ridiculously stable! Holds all my rifles (inlcuding my 25 lb .300 WinMag) with ease, yet is still easy to adjust. It's also perfect for my heavy spotting setup (caged spotting scope with Impact 400 and red dot), and the panning is nice and smooth. Love the combined ARCA/Pic attachment methods...In fact, I don't know why more companies don't do this...Not everything has ARCA! Anyway, great ball head, worth the money and then some; you won't be disappointed!
