ARCA-SWISS monoball® Z1+ sp (single pan)
For over forty years, ARCA-SWISS monoball® tripod heads have led the industry in quality, strength, and performance. In 2006, we introduced the lighter, smaller, and more stable monoball® Z series, which replaced the legendary monoball® B.
Our innovative improvements to the design, including the patented aspherical ball, axial clamping, and PMF (progressive motion related friction control), made the Z1 series the go-to choice for serious photographers. It featured technical developments, optimized materials and coatings, and could withstand a staggering leverage load off-axis.
The latest addition to the monoball® Z family is the ARCA-SWISS monoball® Z1+. With the MRGC (Motion Related Gravity Control) system, the Z1+ has a variable bi-directional drag system that operates independently on both axes, ensuring stability in all directions.
Movements under control
Intelligent engineering and precise manufacturing guarantee a well-distributed radial grip force, providing a strong hold while allowing smooth and accurate camera positioning without drift or sag.
While horizontal movements maintain a consistent friction setting, vertical movements utilize our patented aspherical ball to create a gravitational friction force that increases resistance as the camera tips. This slows momentum, ensuring safety and reducing the risk of accidents or sudden drops.
Our friction control system provides added security, flexibility, and control by allowing you to set the required level of friction for movement based on the combination of your camera and lens weight, as well as image requirements.
Pan and tilt
A notch in the body of the ball head allows 90° tilt, for fast landscape to portrait format changes. The Z1+ base pan lever locking mechanism provides a quick lock to the panning rotation, fast and easy to use with gloves or bare hands.
The monoball® Z1+ is available in single pan (sp) with panning at the base, dual pan (dp) with panning at the base and top, and the 1/4" or 3/8" threaded disk models, adaptable to the quick release of your choice.
Our innovative and patented design, combined with unparalleled accuracy, flexibility, and superior control, make the ARCA-SWISS monoball® Z1+ the professional's choice for camera positioning, precision, and security.
