- separate control for pre-setting the friction of the ball when unblocked.
- A repositionable ratchet means that the locking lever's action will never be blocked by interference with the camera body, tripod shoulder, etc...
- A separate lock on the panoramic axis allows for rotation adjustment or panning to be carried out without losing framing.
- Sturdy all-metal construction.
- The double 90° groove (one on each side of the head) means switching from landscape to portrait is convenient however you're set up.
