Review Summary
2023-02-16T10:46:57
After a couple of years of consideration I finally purchased the Arca-Swiss C1 Cube cp Geared Head with ClickPan with FlipLock. I did however switch the FlipLock with a RRS B2-40-LR Lever Release Clamp since I like the RRS lever release system over the Arca-Swiss FlipLock and it works great. The C1 solved all of my issues with making minor adjustments easily over a traditional bullhead system. The ClickPan is perfect for my panorama shots by ensuring my movements are perfect every time. I overlay one stitched panorama with another in order to capture different lightings of Cityscapes and Landscape Photography and the ClickPan makes sure every swing of the C1 head perfect every time. Glad I waited to purchase the Arca-Swiss C1 since the ClickPan feature just came out. I also adopted the Arca-Swiss Quick-Link System so I can interchange my C1 with any one of my Ball-Heads and/or Tripods. Just to clarify, there is nothing wrong with the Arca-Swiss FlipLock but it is small and requires fingernail manipulation to fully open the FlipLock where the RRS Lever Release System is much easier and faster. I have a lot of experience with RRS Release Lever Systems and it is the best in the industry (IMHO). You can see in my photo I am using an RRS Versa 34 MKII Tripod, RRS TA-3 Leveling Base, Arca-Swiss Quick-Link System and the modified Arca-Swiss C1. Also, I had Precision Camera Works replace the Arca-Swiss FlipLock with the RRS B2-40-LR Lever Release Clamp.

Let the C1 Cube Geared Tripod Head with clicPan and flipLock Quick Release revolutionize your photography and videography experience. This high-quality, durable product is a testament to Arca Swiss's reputation for creating some of the world's best tripod heads. Its unique, patented design is instantly recognizable and favored by renowned photographers worldwide.
This robust tripod head offers precise and secure positioning for all camera types, thanks to its high-precision movements. The gear-driven tilts, each with a tilt range of +/- 30 degrees, are located near the optical center of the camera, minimizing the impact on framing and perspective. This design feature allows for faster setup and intuitive control, making it possible to adjust both axes simultaneously with minimal corrections.
The C1 Cube's self-locking geared controls ensure ease of use with both light and heavy loads. Simply turn a control knob to make a change and release it. The 90-degree tilt movement, achieved through a combination of base manual tilt and top geared tilt, allows for extreme camera positions. The Cube can open up like a clamshell for vertical shooting without an L-bracket, or to increase the degree to which you can pitch and roll the camera.
The C1 Cube features dual panning mechanisms for initial alignment and precise rotation once levelled horizontally. The manual base panning and the top panning movement, equipped with a degree-graduated scale, provide controlled rotation angles. The Cube offers two additional options: the gp option for fine geared control of rotation and the cp option for panning in pre-set selectable steps.
The Cube is crafted from solid, aeronautical quality aluminium, ensuring a lightweight yet sturdy design. It can support a load of up to 40kg (88 lbs), making it suitable for various types of equipment. The Cube is hand-assembled with meticulous care, ensuring a superior user experience and longevity.
The cp-clicPan feature offers a variable interval top panning base, easily switched from free to angular, step-by-step rotation. The flipLock quick-release, compatible with Classic ARCA-SWISS plates and the new, narrower & lighter monoballFix standard, ensures easy and secure attachment and detachment of equipment. With the C1 Cube Geared Tripod Head with clicPan and flipLock Quick Release, you can elevate your photography and videography to new heights.
