The Arca-Swiss Monoball P0 Tripod Head with Panning System is a unique knobless tripod head featuring a design that abandons traditional locking knobs and replaces them with a three-element geared locking system. This system allows the head to be positioned at any angle. The Monoball P0 locking elements apply a uniform force around the ball, ensuring smooth camera movements along any axis. When the camera is placed directly on the ball and not on its neck, the movements are as stable as if they were on a rubber ring. The aspherical ball also prevents sudden camera movements. The panning system is located just below the camera mount, providing a panoramic rotation that remains in line with the vertical. The Monoball P0 has a tilt ball range of 90° and has 360° panning. It weighs only 9.9 oz (280.66 g) and will support equipment up to 44.1 lb (20 kg).

Arca-Swiss Monoball p0 Reviews
Light weight, solid and durible
I have been using this head for 11 years now. Originally purchased with the Arca-Swiss clamp and later swapped out for a RRS lever clamp. Can't say enough for this head. Have been using this on my most used tripod without any issues. Still as tight as the day that I first bought it. At the time; when I first bought it, I was shooting in very dark abandon buildings. The single ring that tightens everything is a very easy to adjust even in the dark with mittens on. In my opinion, the addition of the RRS lever clamp makes this combo unbeatable.
Utmost in Light, Smooth, Clever
Part II When I first read about this unique ball head from Arca Swiss, I lusted after one. Arca Swiss has placed its smooth, aspherical ball at its bottom and panning above, enabling effective camera leveling without having to tediously level the tripod. It utilizes only two quick and easily identifiable controls which strikes me as the ultimate in simplicity and smooth, intelligent operation without having to give momentary mental energy to deciding ‘now, which knob does what?’ when the light on my subject is shifting by the second. The Arca Swiss architecture makes leveling the camera an effortless task, requiring nearly no time, nor attention, when preparing for video or still panning. So this head would be the obvious choice for a kit specially designed for iPhone photography by a photographer who would prefer as few needless distractions from capturing an ephemeral image as possible. Given that this head would be topped off by a smartphone adaptor, another attraction of the Arca Swiss is its precise slot for 90˚ orientation—perfect for smoothly and effortlessly switching from horizontal to vertical image orientation (or vice versa) with supreme control and without a lot of flopping or fiddling corrections. Perfect for my Aries wife’s birthday!
