Leg locks
aluminum cams, updated design for improved stiffness and easier cleanability vs. Travel Tripod.
Integrated Fluid Panning
Seamless 360º panning is now integrated directly into the head. Enjoy buttery-smooth, cinematic pans without extra gear. Rotate knob to lock panning.
Secure Camera Lock
The Arca-compatible lock grips faster, tighter, and more securely. Slide your camera in, pull the plate lock ring to eliminate play, then engage the safety toggle for total confidence.
Single Adjustment Ring
A large, grippy control ring lets you frame and lock your shot in one intuitive motion. Even with the center column down, you get up to 15º of articulation—perfect for fine-tuning compositions while staying stable. Pop into portrait, level up, or reframe without hunting for controls.
Fast and Accurate Setup
A built-in bubble level and tactile lock ring give you fast visual and physical feedback, so your setup is always true and secure.
Tilt Puck
Adds 55º upward and 90º downward tilt to the Pro Ball Head’s built-in panning, creating a full fluid head system for filmmaking. A built-in spring-loaded counterbalance keeps heavy rigs steady and prevents the dreaded “camera flop.”
Long, Deployable Handle
A handle that deploys to 36.5 CM gives you smooth, controlled camera moves when deployed.
Packable
Tilt Mod packs away to the size of a prime lens so that you can always say yes to packing it.
Instant Video Conversion
Snap on the Tilt Mod and your Pro Tripod transforms into a true video tripod.
Leveling Base
Universal Head Compatibility
With a standard 3/8"-16 mount, the leveling base lets you attach nearly any third-party head, from hefty video rigs to specialty heads.
Added security
Three set screws keep your head rock-solid and eliminate twist, even with big video loads.
Easy-to-read bubble
An easy-to-read bubble level makes fast, precise leveling simple—no more shimming legs or guessing. Level your tripod on uneven terrain in seconds with up to 20º of smooth articulation.
