The PCH Precision Controlled Geared Head from Cambo is a 2.7 lb Arca-type head that has a load capacity of 8.8 lb. Each individual movement has its own locking knob, which allows manual movement when unlocked. The tilt (X-axis) has a lateral tilt of -30° and +110°, which can be moved accurately via the geared knob; and the pivot (Y-axis) can be moved with the same geared accuracy. At the same time, the geared knobs do not move because the gears are self-locking, and all the axes, including the panning Z-axis, rotate over the same point. The 5.1"-tall head can rotate a full 360° at the base, and at the top you will find a secondary rotating base for panoramas. Two spirit levels at the bottom, and two at the top ensure that the head is level when you are photographing a panorama or a virtual reality image.

Cambo PCH Reviews
Wonderful Geared head
Been using a few other geared heads and those are great (pair of Leofoto G4), but this takes things up a notch with both pairs of spirit levels. Obviously the build quality from Cambo is top notch and it is a dream to use - very smooth and has mini spaces on each rotating horizontal platform to clearly identify every quarter turn (you feel the indentation while using). I will be purchasing another for my baby tripod which I use in tight spaces while shooting interior design. My one concern would be the max weight one could mount to this geared head, but then again, I have mounted my Fujifilm GX680iii and that camera with all of her attachments, is a hefty camera, weighing in at 12.6 pounds! All in all, I love a good Cambo head option that works well with my Actus G setup that has the GFX100 and various Pentax 645 lenses mounted - all of this makes for a great tripod shooting experience whether it be a digital view camera and medium format film, it works for me!
No Surprise!
That Gear is a precision tool! Money well spend!
