About Arca Swiss C1 Cube

For professional photographers seeking precision and stability, the C1 Cube Geared Tripod Head with clicPan and monoballFix Quick Release is a top-tier choice. Known globally for its unique design and robust construction, this tripod head is a favorite among renowned photographers.

The C1 Cube is a geared tripod head, designed to securely position all camera types with high-precision movements. Its efficient, gear-driven tilts feature perpendicular leveling cradles, each with a tilt range of +/- 30 degrees. These cradles have their axes of rotation close to the optical center of the camera, minimizing the effect on framing and perspective. This design allows for faster setup and intuitive control, with both axes adjustable simultaneously with minimal corrections.

The C1 Cube also features dual panning mechanisms for precise alignment and rotation. The base manual tilt and top geared tilt allow the Cube to move into extreme positions. A unique feature of the C1 Cube is its ability to open 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 Cube is crafted from solid, aeronautical quality aluminum, ensuring both lightness and robustness. It weighs approximately 1kg (2.2 lbs) and can support a load of up to 40kg (88 lbs).

The C1 Cube also includes the cp-clicPan, a low-profile and lightweight mechanism that provides a variable interval top panning base. It offers 10 selectable positions on a setting ring for step-by-step rotation. The monoballFix Quick-Release is another innovative feature, offering high clamping force and a discreet lever designed to avoid catching on external equipment.

In conclusion, the C1 Cube Geared Tripod Head with clicPan and monoballFix Quick Release is a high-quality, precision tool for professional photographers. Its unique design, robust construction, and innovative features make it a standout choice in the world of photography equipment.

Arca Swiss C1 Cube Features

  • The Monoballfix lever is easy and safe to use. Due to the compact design and the self-closing mechanism, the MonoballFix quick clamp is an excellent alternative to the other quick clamps
  • All MonoballFix camera plates, L-brackets and Monorails from Arca Swiss fit into the MonoballFix quick release
  • When the manufacturer of the finest ball heads and view cameras of the finest, mechanical grade, designs a gearhead, the result is a 3-axis head like the Cube!
  • Not only because of its construction, but also because of its iconic design, it has been the benchmark ever since
  • In order to be able to work efficiently with the horizontal and vertical lines that are important in both architectural and still life photography, it is essential to be able to pan the camera in the mm range
  • Which brings us to the next topic: The Cube's individual parts spend an entire day on milling machines operated by technicians who used to make the very finest mechanical watches in the Jura (Switzerland)
  • The C1 Cube is perfect for landscape, still life and architectural photography, as it allows the photographer to adjust even heavy cameras with absolute accuracy
  • The Cube has two panoramic axes: the lower one at the base and the upper one for horizontal panning, e.g. for accurate panoramic shots
  • The fine gear mechanism allows fine adjustment of the X and Y axes. The two adjustment wheels are easy and smooth to operate due to the self-locking gear mechanism
