When the manufacturer of the finest ball heads and view cameras of the finest, mechanical grade, designs a gearhead, the result is a 3-axis head like the Cube!
Not only because of its construction, but also because of its iconic design, it has been the benchmark ever since.
The Arca-Swiss Cube is without question the most advanced and precise tripod head on the market. Why is this so much more important today than it used to be?
Whereas in the past the photographer had at least a 12cm wide film, today he has a sensor that is much smaller, i.e. you have to be able to work much more precisely.
In order to be able to work efficiently with the horizontal and vertical lines that are important in both architectural and still life photography, it is essential to be able to pan the camera in the mm range.
Without exception, every photographer to whom I lent the Cube bought it immediately or wants to own it as soon as possible.
Which brings us to the next topic: The Cube's individual parts spend an entire day on milling machines operated by technicians who used to make the very finest mechanical watches in the Jura (Switzerland).
The C1 Cube is perfect for landscape, still life and architectural photography, as it allows the photographer to adjust even heavy cameras with absolute accuracy.
The Cube has two panoramic axes: the lower one at the base and the upper one for horizontal panning, e.g. for accurate panoramic shots.
The fine gear mechanism allows fine adjustment of the X and Y axes. The two adjustment wheels are easy and smooth to operate due to the self-locking gear mechanism.
What does quick set device "classic" mean?
The classic lever clamps the camera plate or L-bracket by rotation.
All camera plates, L-brackets, monorails & optical benches from Arca Swiss fit into the classic quick release.
Also other manufacturers that are Arca Swiss compatible fit into the classic quick release.

Ich bin begeistert !
Cube C1 ist gerade angekommen. Ich bei meiner Fotoausrűstung auf Stabilität und maximale Präzision Wert lege. Funktionalität und Verarbeitungsqualität sind super -zum Beispiel in der Architekturfotografie und bei unbewegten Aufbauten im Studio.
Ein sehr empfehlenswerter Stativkopf fuer Landschafts- und Naturfotografen bei statischen Motiven.
Seit langem arbeite ich mit dem Monoball p0 - klein, leicht und praezise - aber es braucht halt doch eine gewisse Zeit und auch Kraft, um die Kamera genau platzieren zu koennen, v.a. mit einer etwas schwereren Ausruestung. Nun, mit dem Cube kam ein gewaltiges Aha-Erlebnis! Ohne jede Schwierigkeit kann ich auch um winzige Nuancen in alle Richtungen verschieben. Herrlich!
Es ist ein fantastischer Stativkopf fuer Naturfotografen, die statische Motive im Bild genau komponieren moechten. Billig ist er zwar nicht, auch nicht leicht, aber das wird durch die enorm angenehme Arbeit damit sehr schnell relativiert.
The ultimate head
I'm very happy with the quality and precision of this head.
I use on 8x10" and it is a perfect tool.
Professionell und sehr, sehr gut: Der Cube C1 und der arca-shop!
Ich habe lange überlegt, den Cube C1 zu kaufen und viele mögliche Alternativen geprüft, bewertet und wieder verworfen.
Der Cube ist eine Klasse für sich und hinsichtlich Präzision, Verarbeitung, Funktion und Design absolut einzigartig.
Final war es dann die telefonische Beratung beim arca-shop in Stuttgart, die den Ausschlag gab, diesen Stativkopf zu bestellen.
Sehr präzise! Super Getriebekopf!

Nach 27 Jahren Fotografie ist der Cube 1 der beste Stativkopf den ich je hatte. Das Arbeiten mit diesem Kopf ist Hervorragend. Meiner Meinung ist der Cube 1 jeden Cent Wert und ich würde Ihn ohne zu Überlegen mir sofort wieder kaufen. Qualität, Verarbeitung und das Design sind auf höchsten Ebene.
