ARCA-SWISS monoball® Z1+ single pan – 1/4" screw platform

Compact. Strong. Direct connection.

The ARCA-SWISS monoball® Z1+ single pan with a 1/4" screw platform delivers the proven precision and load capacity of the Z1+ series in a particularly compact, direct configuration. Instead of a quick release, this model features a solid 1/4" screw plate that secures the camera directly and safely – ideal for a simple, rigid and play-free camera-to-head connection.

The aspherical ball technology provides progressive, even friction: the greater the tilt angle, the more controlled the resistance – for smooth movements and pinpoint positioning. With a load capacity up to 60 kg at only about 700 g, the Z1+ combines stability, low weight and reliable control – in the studio or on location.
