ARCA-SWISS monoball® p1+ “cp” (ClicPan®) FlipLock®

Stable. Precise. Fast clamping with defined rotation stops.

The ARCA-SWISS monoball® p1+ “cp” (ClicPan®) FlipLock® combines the proven stability and load capacity of the p1+ with the precision of the ClicPan® panoramic system and the speed of the FlipLock® quick release. This makes it possible to achieve repeatable panoramic rotations and quick setup changes in one compact, professional head.

The inverted monoball® design places the camera directly above the ball, minimizing vibrations and increasing rigidity while maintaining smooth, finely controlled movement. The large friction ring replaces traditional locking knobs, allowing intuitive, one-handed operation – ideal for portrait, product, or landscape photography.

The ClicPan® function provides optional indexed rotation at the top of the head: fixed angular intervals (e.g., 20°, 15°, 10°, etc.) can be selected or disengaged (“OFF”) for free rotation. This allows precise, repeatable panning directly on the head – without additional accessories.

Weighing only approx. 700 g and supporting loads of up to 30 kg, the p1+ “cp” FlipLock® is built for professional use both in the studio and on location.

The FlipLock® quick release provides a fast, secure connection – perfect for professional workflows where efficiency and precision are equally important.
