Linhof 3D Micro Overview

The Linhof 3D Micro Leveling Head with Dovetail Track is designed for precision cameras up to 22 lb that require accurate micro adjustments. The leveling segment offers two precise segment guides for tilt and lateral leveling. With rubber-coated turning knobs, the leveling head allows self-aligning micro movements of up to 12° on both sides as well as the front and rear.

An additional panoramic plate situated above the movement axis permits exact individual exposures for composed panoramic images. All adjustments can be controlled and repeated with precise scales. The 3D Micro is equipped with the Linhof Quickfix permitting a ‘clic-clac’ attachment of the camera. Two spirit levels control the vertical positioning of the camera to assist in crucial architectural alignment.

The 3D MICRO is designed and planned for the use of precision cameras, especially the Linhof Techno, Master Technika, and the Linhof Technorama systems. In addition, this unit also accepts all Arca-Swiss, Right Stuff, and Novaflex dovetail fit accessories.

Linhof 3D Micro Reviews

Highest quality and precision

By Vitaly
Rated 5 out of 5

This geared head is probably the highest quality geared head I’ve even tried. I have Arca Swiss C1 and d4 which are also great and serve a slightly different purpose (broader range of motion and quicker rough adjustments), but if you want the most precise and smooth experience, then Linhof is a certain winner. One full turn of a knob is exactly 1° of inclination. The turning is so smooth it almost feels unreal and it works perfectly with medium format cameras like Hasselblad as well as heavy large format cameras like Arca Swiss Monolith or Sinar P2. The range of motion is /- 12° which is plenty for most leveling scenarios. For 90° angle you’ll need a separate accessory (in contrast C1 and d4 can be positioned at 90° themselves), but if you use L-bracket or shoot large format (where you can rotate film back) it doesn’t matter. PS mine came with coupling plate, 3/8 and 1/4 screws and the 1/4 to 3/8 adapter (even though the description says it doesn’t include those).
