Arca Swiss Monoball P0 with Panning System and QS Slidefix Quick Release System (Plate Not Included)

The Monoball P0 with Panning System and QS Slidefix Quick Release System (Plate Not Included) is a groundbreaking innovation in the realm of tripod head design. Its revolutionary design is characterized by precision, user-friendly operation, and an exceptionally robust, uniform locking force. This unique model, often referred to as 'Knobless, ' has replaced traditional locking knobs with an ingenious geared mechanism, offering a seamless blend of style, lightness, and strength - a true embodiment of 'a hand of steel in a velvet glove. 'Upon first glance, the absence of knobs is striking.

This feature allows users to grasp the tripod head from any angle, either left or right, and secure it simply by turning the knurled part. This eliminates the need to fumble for the locking knob, enhancing ease of use. The tripod head is equipped with three locking elements, strategically arranged around the ball like planets. These elements exert a uniform force around the ball, ensuring smooth camera movement across all axes. The camera is placed directly on the ball, not on its neck, resulting in movements as stable as if they were on a rubber ring.

The patented aspherical ball also generates a gravitational friction force, preventing sudden camera movement. The panning system is uniquely positioned just below the camera mount, providing a panoramic rotation that aligns with the vertical. The Monoball P0 is not only affordable but also offers a tilt ball range of 90 degrees and 360-degree panning. Despite its super lightweight of only 9.9 ounces and compact format, it boasts an unbeatable locking power. ARCA-SWISS offers two camera mounts for the p0: a 1/4" basic model with a 3/8" adaptor, and the new patented Slidefix system. This universal adaptor enables you to attach any make of camera, and you can upgrade your p0 at any time by purchasing a Slidefix kit. The Slidefix system offers a wide selection of rapid mounting adaptor plates for instant camera attachment to the tripod head. The Monoball P0 measures 74mm in height and 60mm in diameter.
