Arca Swiss Core 75 Leveler Geared Tripod Head w/clicPan & flipLock Quick Release

The ARCA-SWISS Core Leveler series of heads employs the same principles that made the C1 Cube such a success. Their movements have a smaller range yet have the advantage of making the Core Levelers more compact and lighter. They are the ideal heads for travelling.

The Core 75 Leveler is the Core 60 Leveler's bigger brother and is intended for use with heavier equipment. It is machined from solid, aeronautical-grade aluminium. It will suit all architecture and landscape photographers who seek the quality of the C1 Cube's movements but at a lighter weight-around 600g (1.32 lbs)

Efficient and Instinctive Gear-Driven Tilts
The X and Y axis tilt movements are drawn from those of the C1 Cube, and have their axes of rotation close to the optical centre of the camera. Their adjustment therefore has very little effect on framing and perspective.Fluid and precise movements are provided by two self-locking control knobs. You simply turn one of the control knobs to make an adjustment and then release it.
As on the C1 Cube, the two movements can be operated at the same time when adjusting composition, giving unequalled ease of use and time saving.

Dual PanningA lockable panning base located at the bottom of the head is used for coarse-framing the composition.

A second, graduated and lockable precision panning mechanism, located under the quick release, is provided for fine-tuning the composition. Two bubble levels aid precise horizontal control. Once the camera is levelled, top panning keeps it level throughout a 360 Degree arc, perfect for panoramic photography.

Extendable knobsFor greater comfort the tilt control knobs can be extended on their shafts, making them easier to use-for example, when wearing gloves for taking outdoor shots in cold weather.cp - clicPan (top panning in angular steps)The clicPan is a low-profile and lightweight mechanism which provides a variable interval top panning base. It can be easily switched from free to angular, step-by-step rotation.
10 positions can be selected on a setting ring - 40 Degree (9 steps), 30 Degree (12 steps), 24 Degree (15 steps), 20 Degree (18 steps), 15 Degree (24 steps), 12 Degree (30 steps), 10 Degree (36 steps), 7.5 Degree (48 steps), 6 Degree (60 stops) with an off position for free panning movement. Once a setting is chosen, the camera will pan in equal increments, and give a tactile and audible clic as it stops at each set step.The graduated scale around the edge of the base shows the exact angle turned through and a locking lever prevents further movement of the panning base.flipLock Quick-Release
The flipLock quick-release has two channels, which make it compatible with Classic ARCA-SWISS plates (the most widely used) as well as plates made to the new, narrower & lighter monoballFix standard.

When used with monoballFix plates, two pins on its base prevent any unintended slippage of the camera.

The lever has 3 positions: open and closed, plus an intermediate position, which allows a plate or rail to be slid into position securely. At this setting, the plate or rail cannot be freed.
The movement from closed to open position passes through the intermediate position to maintain safety and avoid accidents such as inadvertent opening of the lever by catching on something.

The flipLock quick-release is adjusted to work perfectly with original ARCA-SWISS plates. However, using an adjusting bolt it can adapt to different plates made to ARCA-SWISS Classic standards, although tolerances may vary between brands.
