Acratech GXP Ball-Head with Lever Quick Release Clamp

What sets the Acratech GXP Ball-Head apart is its innovative design and multifunctionality, making it a top choice for both travel and outdoor photographers. This upgraded model builds on the success of the acclaimed Acratech GP Ball-Head, which was recognized as a leader in its class and awarded DP Review's prestigious "Top Pick". The GXP Ball-Head is not just a ball head, but also functions as a gimbal head and a leveling panoramic head. This three-in-one design offers unparalleled versatility, allowing photographers to switch between different shooting modes without needing to carry multiple pieces of equipment. The gimbal feature of the GXP Ball-Head is compatible with any lens (up to 400mm F4.0) that has a tripod collar. The unique combination of a pin in the bottom of the ball and a sleeve on the stem creates a smooth pivot for the gimbal, enabling you to capture action shots like a pro. The GXP Ball-Head also doubles as a leveling panoramic head. By simply unscrewing the quick release clamp and attaching it to the bottom of the head, you can create level, single-row panoramas. This feature eliminates the need for a separate leveling base, making it easier to achieve accurate stitched panoramas even on rocky or uneven terrain. Designed with the active photographer in mind, the Acratech GXP Ball-Head is both lightweight and rugged. Its open structure allows moisture, dirt, and debris to fall through, preventing them from getting trapped inside a socket. This feature is particularly beneficial for photographers who often work in challenging outdoor conditions. The GXP Ball-Head is available with an Arca Swiss style, knob, or locking lever quick release clamp, offering smooth and secure camera mounting and releasing. With its world-class quality and innovative features, the Acratech GXP Ball-Head is a valuable addition to any photographer's gear collection.
