Same as the 488 but equipped with a quick release 030 camera plate system with a secondary safety catch and two spirit levels for precise levelling on both vertical or horizontal axes. Camera attachment has 1/4” male thread. Head to tripod attachment is 3/8” female.
2 bubble spirit levels built in for accurate alignment
The 030 hexagonal quick release plate system offers several advantages... the contact between the plate and the head is extremely solid, eliminating unwanted movement, and the camera can be oriented at any 60°-multiple angle to the head/tripod
This head features a secondary security lock so you can't accidentally release the plate (and camera) without meaning to. The lock stops the quick release lever from opening fully.
A separate lock on the panoramic axis allows for rotation adjustment or panning to be carried out without losing framing
Sturdy all-metal construction
The double 90° groove (one on each side of the head) means switching from landscape to portrait is convenient however you're set up
