sturdy all-metal construction
materials, design and construction techniques have been carefully selected to help save weight without sacrificing stability or strength
the double 90° groove (one on each side of the head) means switching from landscape to portrait is convenient however you're set up
this head features a secondary security lock so you can't accidentally release the plate (and camera) without meaning to. The lock stops the quick release lever from opening fully.
a repositionable ratchet means that the locking lever's action will never be blocked either open or closed by interference with the camera body, tripod shoulder, etc... simply pull the lever outwards and it's free to be positioned more comfortably without affecting the locking mehanism. Then you can continue tightening or loosening the knob.
a separate lock on the panoramic axis allows for rotation adjustment or panning to be carried out without losing framing
separate control for pre-setting the friction of the ball when unblocked. the Hydrostat ball locking system is based on a chamber containing fluid, which, when pressurised by the tightening of the lock knob, exerts an even locking force on the ball. The evenness of the force applied by this system compared to the traditional mechanical blocking technique is what gives this head its remarkable load capacity. The Hydrostat system also reduces framing deviation during blocking for greater accuracy.
accurate degree markings on rotation axes allow for precise positioning of the camera
