Acratech GXP Ballhead + Standard Clamp 1205

The Acratech GP Ballhead has long been recognised as a leader in its class.

 

The GXP has a wide range of significant new features and it continues the tradition of Acratech’s world-class quality.

New Features of the GXP:

•     Innovative form-follows-function design.
•     Solidly supports an impressive 50.lbs. (double the capacity of the GP)
•     The GXP only weighs 1.lb bearing a 50:1 load ratio.
•     Large, easy to tighten, high torque lock knob is easy to tighten even with heavy winter gloves on.
•     New extra fine tension adjustment.
•     The unique, panoramic adjustable zero pointer makes it easy to return to your starting point when you are shooting a sequence of images.
•     The quick release clamp has deep side notches for more clearance with other manufacturers stop screws.
•     The level on the quick release clamp is clearly visible even with your camera attached to the clamp.
•     The quick release clamp jaws are more pointed to be more compatible with some manufactures quick release plates with less pointed dovetails.
•     The locking lever clamp has a safety zone so the first 25% of the levers motion will not allow your camera to release.

Features of the GXP that carry on the GP tradition:
