The Kopf² Geared Head with Arca-Type QR Panorama Base from Novoflex is a modular geared head that combines precise movements with independent adjustments in both axes. Coarse movements can be controlled using the clamping levers, while fine movements can be made using the adjustment knobs. The self-locking fine drive prevents unintended movement or drops of heavy equipment when the coarse movement lever is closed. The joints of the horizontal and vertical axes feature adjustable and zeroable angle scales for reproducible angular positions.

The upper and lower device mounting brackets are equipped with Arca-type dovetails for a wide range of accessory mounting options. The upper platform has a 1/4"-20 mounting screw and video pin holes for movement-free camera mounting.

The Arca-type compatible panoramic quick release set features an engraved 360° scale with 5° increments for precisely rotating a camera. The base has smooth movements and a locking knob to secure it in any position. Its integrated quick release clamp and mounting base are compatible with Arca-type UniQ/C plates and accessories.

Please note, this set does not include a quick release plate.

A: The Oben MFR4-5 does not have arca-swiss dovetails built into it, so you'll need to first attach an arca-swiss style quick release plate in order for it to fit onto the YB-75SK. The YB-75SK will fit onto the Robus Vantage series-3 tripods as they come with a 75mm bowl. :)

Q: 6. Sorry Hector, this is really a clarification on my initial question; while I am sure the knobs stay put when they have been adjusted, I am more so referring to the rubber grips, can these slip off or rotate independently of the knobs in case the knob is being tightened tightly. Do/Can the rubber grips slide?

A: The rubber grips on the Gitzo GH3382QD Series 3 Center Ball Head will not slip off or rotate unless they are worn out. The head is covered by a 10 year warranty in case that happens.

Q: 7. I'm trying to decide which of these two heads to buy. Arca-Swiss - Monoball Z1 sp with Quick Release MFR # 801104 or Arca-Swiss MonoballFix Z1 SP Ball Head MFR # 801105. I often work in cold weather. I read that the MFR # 801105 is better because of the knob. On the image it looks the same?

A: Both of these heads will give you an equal excellent performance in cold weather. The knobs are the same.

Q: 8. Ive received this tripod head and the pan lock, when fully tightened, does not prevent the head from panning. Is this normal or a flaw in my unit?

A: Is it possible that you haven't secured the heads' anti-rotation set-screw located under the tripods' top-plate? This will prevent the head from twisting off the tripods' head-mounting screw.

Q: 9. Is this compatible with RRS plates?

A: RRS quick-release plates are only guaranteed to work with RRS QR clamps, but since they are Arca-type and so is the Novoflex Q-Base II Arca-Type Compatible Quick Release Clamp, they should be compatible.

A: Yes, Gitzo G1329 MK2 Mountaineer Carbon Fiber Tripod is compatible with a 75mm bowl. Therefore Leofoto YB-75LK Leveling Base with Long Handle and Arca-Type QR Clamp can be attached to the tripod center support.
