Featuring revolutionary SpeedLevel and SpeedSwap technology, this head allows you to mount, level, and lock your camera in seconds, ensuring you never miss a critical shot.

Instant Leveling with SpeedLevel Technology

Forget fumbling with bowl clamps. The unique SpeedLevel system allows you to release, level, and lock the head with a simple lever pull. The PrismBubble provides clear, illuminated confirmation that your camera is perfectly level, visible from any angle or height, even in low-light environments.
