  • Unmatched High Performance: Super-strong and smooth bi-axial progressive locking mechanism is free of lock-up problem and easy to control. And, its superior mechanism provides even pressure in all directions.

  • Fluid style main tension knob (patent pending) for smooth and easy operation
  • Engraved degree markings for panoramic photography
  • Beautiful and tough hard-anodized finish
  • Fits all standard monopods and tripods with a 3/8" bolt (monopods/tripods with a 1/4" bolt require an adapter bushing which is not provided)
