The head features a single tension adjustment for smooth movement and quick control. There are two slots to allow you to tilt the head 90° in either direction for taking photos in portrait orientation. Two bubble levels and a shoe lever on the head ensure the camera is level perfect.

Slide Leg Angle Selector: The leg angle can be set to one of three positions: Normal, Semi-Low Angle, and Low Angle. The Leg Collar can be lifted and rotated out of the way so you can fold the legs up for storage.
