ARCA-SWISS Core Leveler 60 FlipLock®

Ultra-compact. When precision is non-negotiable.

The ARCA-SWISS Core Leveler 60 is a high-precision leveling head designed for photographers who demand uncompromising horizontal alignment – especially in architectural, landscape and reproduction work. Unlike traditional ball or geared heads, the Core Leveler focuses entirely on accurate leveling, allowing the camera platform to be aligned with millimetric precision before composition.

With micrometric movements of ±10° on two axes and 360° panning on both the top and base, the Core Leveler 60 provides maximum control in a compact and lightweight form – ideal for travel, field use, or as a precise base for panoramic or 3D systems.

How does the “FlipLock®” quick release work?

The FlipLock® quick release operates with a solid locking lever. By flipping the lever, the camera plate or L-bracket is securely fixed within the Arca-profile; to release, the lever is simply returned. The lever design allows fast, decisive locking and unlocking with reliable holding force and is designed for ARCA-SWISS plates and Arca-compatible accessories.

Important note: The FlipLock® system is precisely calibrated to the dimensions of original ARCA-SWISS camera plates. Only genuine plates should be used, as third-party copies or tolerance deviations from other manufacturers may impair the clamping function.
