How does the “monoball®Fix” quick release work?

The monoball®Fix system uses a precise, low-profile clamping mechanism. The camera plate is locked directly through a short lever or turn action – fast, play-free, and secure. The minimal height reduces vibration and provides an even more rigid connection between camera and head.

Important note: The monoball®Fix system is precisely matched to original ARCA-SWISS monoball®Fix plates. Only genuine plates should be used, as third-party versions with tolerance deviations may impair clamping accuracy and safety.
