Arca Swiss Monoball p1+ Tripod Head with clicPan and flipLock Quick Release

After extensive research and development, the Monoball p1+ Tripod Head with clicPan and flipLock Quick Release emerges as a superior choice for professional photographers. As the advanced sibling of the Monoball p0+, it retains all the exceptional features of its predecessor while offering enhanced capabilities for handling heavier equipment.

Constructed with a larger-diameter ball, the Monoball p1+ ensures smooth operation and stability, making it an ideal companion for photographers seeking precision and reliability. Weighing approximately 545g (1.2 lbs), this sturdy tripod head can support a load of up to 40kg (88 lbs), making it suitable for a wide range of cameras and lenses.

The Monoball p1+ features an innovative inverted ball head design, where the head rotates around the ball. This unique design not only improves camera control but also reduces exposure to dust and splashes, thereby enhancing the product's durability.

Whether you're left or right-handed, the Monoball p1+ offers instinctive control. The knurled ring replaces traditional knobs, allowing for quicker locking and better motion control. The inverted ball design also results in exceptionally sensitive control, as a small rotation around the ball leads to a smaller rotation of the camera.

The Monoball p1+ derives its impressive clamping force from an epicyclic gear train with three planetary gears, operated by the knurled ring. This powerful mechanism ensures that equal pressure is applied to both sides of the ball, providing secure and steady support for your camera.

Like all ARCA-SWISS ball heads, the Monoball p1+ features an aspherical ball that increases friction as the camera's angle of inclination increases, providing an extra layer of security to prevent sudden camera tipping.

The Monoball p1+ also boasts a 90-degree tilt and top panning capability, thanks to a recess in the body of the ball head. This feature, combined with an upper lockable panning base, allows for overhead or downward views.

The Friction + system allows you to set and memorize the level of friction required for ball movement, offering additional security and control. The clicPan feature provides a variable interval top panning base, allowing for precise, step-by-step rotation.

Finally, the flipLock Quick-Release system ensures compatibility with both Classic ARCA-SWISS plates and the new, narrower & lighter monoballFix standard plates. The flipLock lever has three positions: open, closed, and an intermediate position, which allows secure positioning of the plate or rail.

In summary, the Monoball p1+ Tripod Head with clicPan and flipLock Quick Release is a versatile, high-quality, and reliable choice for photographers seeking superior control and stability in their equipment.
