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.

Question for "K" – you say the gears have a little play. Is it significant enough to make it annoying to use? Any idea how this might compare with an ARCA D4 or cube? TIA for any insights, Roy
Sorry to hear of the play on K's unit, but I'd like to address that it is possible to tighten the gearing on the PCH unit. Users can unscrew the locking nuts by twisting them counter clockwise. Once that has been done, there is a nut inside that can be adjusted to tighten or loosen the gearing mechanism.
Hope this addresses the review, and some of the other questions as well.
