Three leveling bubbles enable extremely precise alignment of the camera on the tripod, reducing the need for post-processing on the computer. The use of robust aluminum ensures excellent reliability and durability for this head. Despite its very high load capacity of up to 8 kg, the XPRO itself weighs only 1 kg.
