Monoball p0+ hybrid "MonoballFix"

The monoball® p0+ hybrid offers the best of both worlds—the rapidity of a ball head with the precision of a geared head. This hybrid concept has given birth to one of the most versatile tripod heads on the market.

monoball®p Inverted ball head concept
The monoball® p0+ hybrid retains all the characteristics of the monoball®p:

• A knurled tightening ring, giving instinctive and better control of the camera movement with two hands
• The inverted ball, for improved control through reduced distance between the ball centre and the optical axis
• The powerful clamping force of the patented monoball®p planetary gear train system
• The safety offered by the aspherical ball, with increasing friction as a function of camera tilt
• Friction + control to cater for all types of cameras, giving additional security and ease of use

Efficient and instinctive gear-driven tilts
The concept of the C1 Cube—two perpendicular high precision segments each with a tilt range of +/- 10°, and axes of rotation close to the optical centre of the camera.
Their adjustment therefore has very little effect on framing and perspective, which means setting-up is now faster than ever.
The controls are so easy and instinctive that both axes can be adjusted at the same time with a minimum of corrections.

90°tilt and top panning:
The monoball® p0+ hybrid is capable of extreme movements thanks to a recess in the body of the ball head which allows a
90° tilt plus a further 10° using the geared segments for overhead or downward views when associated with the top panning mechanism.

Maximum versatility:
At around just 550 g (1.21 lb.), the lightweight and compact monoball® p0+ hybrid is an incredibly versatile head, easy to transport and ideal for landscape, architecture or studio photography.

monoball®Fix quick-release:
The new monoball®Fix quick-release is lighter, thinner and quicker to use. It uses narrower plates and rails.
It has very high clamping force and can hold up to 30 kg (66 lb.) —ample for most common applications.
It has a discreet lever, designed to avoid catching on external equipment, with 3 positions, open, normal and closed:Open requires the locking lever to be pushed positively outwards against a return spring, an arrangement designed to remove the risk of accidental opening.
Normal needs no action on the lever and allows a plate or rail to be slid into position and adjusted. Two pins on its base prevent any unintended slippage of the camera.
Closed requires the lever to be pushed inwards. A click, which can be both felt and heard, is your assurance that the camera is correctly and securely fixed in position.
Lighter, stronger and instinctively easy to use, the monoball®Fix quick-release can be manipulated by touch alone.
