Excellent upgrade from GP and leveling base
Really love this head. Had the GP prior with the Acratech leveling base (because I wanted to have a visible bubble and GP bubble with lever clamp is on inside of plate). I can tell the difference in load (50lbs vs 25lbs) as my 5D MKIV with 100-400 feels just much more stable. Add that this is a very lightweight ballhead with the pano and gimbal feature (I use pano a lot, actually leve the head in that configuration), it's a no brainer for me.
Excellent design
Very impressed with this head. The open design really does help with dirt and grime. The lubricated head I used before the GXP would gather dirt and dust like it was its job. With the GXP I have no qualms with setting the tripod on the ground, which gives me less to think about while in the field. The GXP is quite rigid, and is easily capable of holding a GFX100 and 45-100mm lens, a heavy combo. I also appreciate the ability to use the head as a leveling base for panoramas. This removes t...

What sets the Acratech GXP Ball-Head apart is its innovative design and multifunctionality, making it a top choice for both travel and outdoor photographers. This upgraded model builds on the success of the acclaimed Acratech GP Ball-Head, which was recognized as a leader in its class and awarded DP Review's prestigious "Top Pick".
The GXP Ball-Head is not just a ball head, but also functions as a gimbal head and a leveling panoramic head. This three-in-one design offers unparalleled versatility, allowing photographers to switch between different shooting modes without needing to carry multiple pieces of equipment.
The gimbal feature of the GXP Ball-Head is compatible with any lens (up to 400mm F4.0) that has a tripod collar. The unique combination of a pin in the bottom of the ball and a sleeve on the stem creates a smooth pivot for the gimbal, enabling you to capture action shots like a pro.
The GXP Ball-Head also doubles as a leveling panoramic head. By simply unscrewing the quick release clamp and attaching it to the bottom of the head, you can create level, single-row panoramas. This feature eliminates the need for a separate leveling base, making it easier to achieve accurate stitched panoramas even on rocky or uneven terrain.
Designed with the active photographer in mind, the Acratech GXP Ball-Head is both lightweight and rugged. Its open structure allows moisture, dirt, and debris to fall through, preventing them from getting trapped inside a socket. This feature is particularly beneficial for photographers who often work in challenging outdoor conditions.
The GXP Ball-Head is available with an Arca Swiss style, knob, or locking lever quick release clamp, offering smooth and secure camera mounting and releasing. With its world-class quality and innovative features, the Acratech GXP Ball-Head is a valuable addition to any photographer's gear collection.
