Features:
- sturdy all-metal construction
- 2 bubble spirit levels built in for accurate alignment
- 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.
- the double 90 groove (one on each side of the head) means switching from landscape to portrait is convenient however you're set up
- a separate lock on the panoramic axis allows for rotation adjustment or panning to be carried out without losing framing
- 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.
