Bigger size, light, with quick release, perfect for advanced amateurs and professionals.

With its solid aluminum construction and phenolic resin ball, this head is the ideal support for all traditional or digital small or medium format cameras. It features separate fast action "ratchet" locks on 360° pan and +90 -90° tilt movements. You can position your camera anywhere in 180° sphere with confidence and ease. Equipped with a quick release 410PL camera plate system with a secondary safety catch and two spirit levels for precise levelling on both vertical or horizontal axes. Camera plate has 1/4" male thread. Head to tripod attachment is 3/8" female.

Sturdy all-metal construction	2 bubble spirit levels built in for accurate alignment	The double 90° groove (one on each side of the head) means switching from landscape to portrait is convenient however you're set up	The 410PL quick release plate system offers a broader footprint ensuring a large stable point of contact between camera and plate, which improves stability with larger heavier camera equipment. The sliding screw adapts to the precise configuration of the camera.
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
