ACRATECH - GXP 1205 ball joint:

Replaces the GP1155 ball joint!

The Acratech GP ball head has long been recognized as a leader in its category. The GP even won the coveted "Top Pick" by DP Reviews. Now Acratech is moving forward competitively with its new GXP ball head. The GXP has a wide range of important new features and it continues Acratech's tradition of world-class quality.

Our Acratech GXP ball head is specially designed to work as a leveling ball head, gimbal head and pan head. It's like 3 pieces of gear come together in one beautiful, lightweight unit!

The Gimbal Action will have you shooting the action like a pro. The Gimbal function works with any lens (up to 400mm F4.0) that has a tripod collar. The pin in the bottom of the ball and the sleeve on the shank of the ball is what creates a smooth pivot for the gimbal.

Unscrew the quick release clamp and place it on the bottom of the head and you are now ready to use the GXP ball head to create single row level panoramas. This eliminates the need to carry a separate leveling base in order to create precise stitched panoramas, as you will be able to pan parallel to the horizon even when using your tripod on rocky or rough terrain.

All Acratech ball heads are designed and manufactured to be lightweight for travel photography and tough for active outdoor photographers. The open structure allows moisture, dirt and debris to pass through instead of being trapped in a socket.

Available with our Arca Swiss style quick release clamp, button or locking lever.

New features of the GXP:

Solidly supports an impressive 50lbs. (double the capacity of the GP)
The GXP weighs just 1 lb with a 50: 1 load ratio.
The large, easy-to-tighten, high-torque locking knob is easy to tighten even with thick winter gloves.
New extra fine tension adjustment.
Our unique adjustable panoramic zero pointer makes it easy to return to your starting point when taking a sequence of images.
The quick release clamp has deep side notches for more clearance with set screws from other manufacturers.
The level of the quick release clamp is clearly visible even with your camera attached to the clamp.
Our quick release clamp jaws are sharper to be more compatible with some manufacturers of quick release plates with less sharp dovetails.
The locking lever clamp has a safety zone, so the first 25% of the lever movement will not allow your camera to release.
