The X-Table FlipLock from Arca-Swiss gives all photography enthusiasts the tools they need for macro photography. The macro sets differ only in the quick sets with which the camera is clamped. In addition to the fine adjustment in the longitudinal plane, the Y-axis of the so-called cross tables can also be adjusted transversely with the fine drive on the X-tables. These quicksets can be rotated 90° depending on how their camera plate is attached to the camera.

Q: 1. Is it possible to remove the clamp on this head? I found this fliplock clamp really hard to use and I would like to replace it with a RRS clamp.

A: I do not believe is possible to replace the clamp. And yes, at times it appears difficult to open the clamp but once you master it, it is easy and the safest. To open just squeeze the clamp close and pull the retainer knob at the en towards you. When it releases, just open it half way and release it complety by pulling the second retainer away from the ball. Once I considered this the best ballhead but it tends to come apart if not careful when adjusting the width of the jaws opening.

Q: 2. Does this head need an additional leveling base? I know that the cube did not, so wondering if this one does.
