ARCA-SWISS monoball® p0+ Hybrid “monoball®Fix”

Low-profile. Precise. Hybrid technology with maximum stability.

The ARCA-SWISS monoball® p0+ Hybrid “monoball®Fix” combines high-precision hybrid mechanics with the ultra-flat, form-fitting monoball®Fix quick release system. The result is a head that delivers both smooth, controlled motion and exceptional rigidity – ideal for technical, product, or outdoor photography where absolute stability and repeatable accuracy are critical.

The inverted monoball® design provides perfect balance by positioning the camera directly above the ball, minimizing leverage and side forces. Two micrometric fine drives allow precise tilt control along the X and Y axes with a ±10° adjustment range per axis, enabling micro-adjustments without play or drift.

An integrated 360° panoramic rotation with 90° detents allows repeatable horizontal movements and precise framing, supported by the Hybrid system’s smooth friction control.

Weighing only approx. 605 g and supporting up to 20 kg, the p0+ Hybrid “monoball®Fix” delivers technical precision and load-bearing strength in a compact form – built for photographers who demand maximum control.

The flat monoball®Fix quick release ensures a direct, vibration-free connection between camera and head, precisely matched to genuine ARCA-SWISS monoball®Fix plates.

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 rotational or lever movement – fast, play-free, and form-fitting. The reduced height minimizes vibrations and provides an even more stable camera-to-head connection.

Important note: The monoball®Fix system is precisely matched to the dimensions of genuine ARCA-SWISS monoball®Fix plates. Only original plates should be used, as third-party products with dimensional deviations may affect clamping performance and safety.
