## Description

Arca-Swiss 8501003.1 Overview The Arca-Swiss C1 Cube is a three-axis panoramic head with a 66 lb load capacity, making it ideal for use with the heaviest cameras while maintaining a high degree of accuracy. The C1 Cube allows for finely-calibrated gearless panning adjustments with tension control. The two panoramic axes permit you to first center the Cube's controls to your position with the bottom axis, and then readjust the camera to point straight ahead with the upper axis. The gears' rubberized knobs give pinpoint control even when wearing gloves, and don't obstruct the head's movements. On the bottom there's a hinge allowing 62° tilt so that most cameras can reach the 90° vertical position. On top of the Cube there are two bubble levels and Arca-Swiss' Classic style quick release clamp. Although universal, the Cube's main use is in architectural and studio work, where precise movements and adjustments are required. Also suitable for macro photography, its design allows far fewer focusing readjustments while creating images. It essentially places the camera inside a sphere, as if the axes met at a point upon the image plane itself, with the camera rotating around a stationary image plane. This engineering feat was achieved to minimize movements to the optical system's entrance pupil during composing, making for speedier field work free of perpetual height and focus adjustments. Compatible with Arca's Classic quick release systemSophisticated engineering, machined from a single billetDesigned in Switzerland, manufactured in FranceGeared x-y axes with adjustable gear tension and 28 degree of motionThird 62° tilt-only axis underneath geared adjustmentsRubberized knobs easily manipulated in the cold and with glovesMovements allow camera's image plane to stay relatively stationary, easing macro work

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    So expensive but so worth it.
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2019*

I am a professional real estate photographer and a level image is a must. I have been using the Manfrotto Junior Geared Head (410) for years and always struggled to get my camera perfectly level which caused me to have to dedicate more time in editing. I knew the reputation of the arca Swiss cube and have admired it from afar. I've just never been able to justify such a large investment. After using the 410 junior for 7 years it finally became unusable and I decided I would take the plunge and buy the arca Swiss cube. I am almost speechless at how amazing this product is. The fluidity of which it moves is simply incredible. The double bubble levels on the back provide that extra bit of accuracy that I needed to get perfectly leveled images. The cube is an absolute dream to use and I now wish I had invested in it years ago. If you are in a professional situation where a perfectly level image is a must, then you are doing yourself a disservice by not owning an arca swiss cube. It is simply the best you can possibly get.

    The best camera tripod head on planet earth.
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2019*

If you need or want precision this is your ticket.  60 degrees of base tilt plus 60 degrees of gear driven elevation and/or sideways tilt gives you unimaginable control for vertical Milky Way panoramas or horizontal landscape/architecture panoramas.  Anytime you need to duplicate a process you need this level of control or you want precise settings this is the only way to get it.  Ball heads are great, but not like the Cube.  The Cube takes it to another level.

    I'm a Commercial Photographer and this is Amazing!
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2018*

Commercial photography requires precise movements and great stability. This provides both. I've used many ball heads and the Manfrotto 410 and 405 geared heads. This is the best tripod head I've ever owned. It's lighter and more compact than the Manfrotto heads. The geared adjustments work so much better. It's an expensive product, but it's worth it. Great for landscapes, architecture, commercial work, and anything that requires precise movements and/or compositing.
