Rated 5 out of 5

Solid precesion, high quality

This does exactly as advertised. The workmanship is HIGH. The etched markers are beautiful. Yes you can pay less but this will last a lifetime and will always be accurate. I would say the adjustable stops are a little on the large size, I only use one. Quick, easy, and solid changing the axis.

Adaptability is foremost

The Acratech system, including the Nodal Rail, is tops for adaptability and intelligent analysis and design for what photographers need. Large levelling bubbles on both ballhead and nodal rail. With the GP ballhead inverted, you can easily pan level and vertically. All parts are sturdy & precise, arca compatible. Costly, but you get much more than most other systems offer.
