ARCA-SWISS D4 (Manual) Tripod Head with Monoball®Fix Quick Set Device

The Arca Swiss D4m Tripod Head is a manual pan head without pan handles.

The head is small and compact, and the levers are arranged efficiently so they do not get in the way. On a tripod, the D4m Tripod Head can be used like a normal spherical head. This tripod head will accept either the classic Arca Swiss standard type plates or the Arca Swiss MonoballFix type camera plates.

If the X- and Y-axes are open, you can move the camera freely. The D4m head allows you to perform the movements separately, one at a time. This can even be done with both the axes open; if one of the axes is fixed, this may be performed even more precisely.

The D4m unit has two panoramas. A rotating device, which allows camera alignment, is found on the base of the head. The second panorama is above the axes and allows the performance of a panorama shot with an already aligned camera.

The D4m head’s innovative design puts the centre of rotation of the X and Y movements in the same place, making the pivoting radius of these movements very small, thus allowing you to maintain perspectives already found during readjustment.

The head’s swivelling is equipped with a self-locking shock absorption feature, allowing for near total compensation of the camera’s weight. Another notable feature is the positioning of the spirit levels, which are located underneath the upper panorama adjustment and are arranged at a 90° angle. Both are sufficiently visible as to facilitate effective levelling, even from a low viewpoint.

Please note: That Arca heads are not supplied with the quick release plates.
