ARCA-SWISS introduces clicPan® tripod heads

Press Release September 15, 2022
​
ARCA-SWISS continues to innovate and revolutionize the photography world. Today we introduce a new option for three of our tripod heads, providing an essential tool for creating panoramic images.

C1 Cube cp, Core 75 Leveler cp and monoball® p1+ cp
With a variable interval rotator installed under the top panning quick release, clicPan® tripod heads provide a multi-function solution for both advanced amateurs and professional photographers.

Panorama ready
Easily switch between free panning mode for a single capture, or adjust on the fly to clicPan® mode. Set up and adjust a clicPan® head to be ready for a panorama efficiently and quickly. Once the camera is leveled using the clicPan® tripod head, our top panning design will ensure level panning without the need to adjust the tripod legs when working on uneven ground.

Simple to operate
Select one of the panoramic interval positions by rotating the white index mark on the clicPan® adjustment ring, until the index mark is aligned with the chosen interval setting.

Ten positions are provided on the lower scale - 40° (9 stops), 30° (12 stops), 24° (15 stops), 20° (18 stops), 15° (24 stops), 12° (30 stops), 10° (36 stops), 7.5° (48 stops), 6° (60 stops) with an “OFF” position for 360° free panning movement.

The clicPan® adjustment ring turns in either direction. When rotated, the adjustment ring will stop at each setting position. Once a setting is chosen, the camera will pan in equal increments, providing a tactile and audible “clic” stop at each interval. Simply pan the camera to the next detent and stop. Let any vibration settle, then shoot and move to the next stop. You will feel and hear the audible “clic” at every detent interval.

Strong and stable with high performance
All three clicPan® heads are capable of handling the greater demands of heavy telephoto lenses or medium and large format cameras. Core 75 Leveler cp and monoball® p1+ cp provide a load capacity of 66 lbs / 30 kg. C1 Cube cp provides a load capacity of 88 lbs / 40 kg.

C1 Cube and monoball® p1+ cp offer a friction dial for greater control over heavier loads, or less tension with lighter loads. These choices provide added stability and improved handling with fine adjustments.

Minimal and light
The clicPan® mechanism is lightweight and low in profile, adding approximately two ounces (60 grams) of weight and 10 mm of height to a standard head.

Photographers may now reliably shoot single-row panoramas without extra gear, or create multi-row panoramas using one of our Pan System accessories with a nodal rail. Our panoramic accessories are compact, can be quickly collapsed, and convenient to carry in any photo bag. 

As with all tripod heads from ARCA-SWISS, clicPan® tripod heads are available with a choice of quick release: monoball®Fix, Classic and flipLock®. Specifications and pricing provided below.
