PCF Gearhead

Cambo's PCF tripod head with amazing flexibility. It can tilt, swing, rotate as if it were a ball head, and it has precision gears for fine-tuned tilt and swing and additional geared rotation of the top platform. All geared movements are self-locking and available in any position of the head. The bottom as well as the top can rotate 360*. After levelling, the top rotation can be used for panoramic shooting.
The PCF features a quick release top and includes a 1/4" plate. Cambo's QR plate includes a safety lock that prevents your camera to turn loose on the mount.

If you have a camera with an ARCA style mount, you can use it directly on the PCF. This includes the Cambo ACTUS and Cambo WRS-series.
  • PCF is a tripod head which features geared rotational movement around the X-Axis , Y-Axis and Z-Axis on the top, as well as double (top and bottom plate) manual rotation around the Z-axis. This enables the PCH to be used as a normal ball head for fast levelling adjustment as well as a precision gear head for fine levelling adjustments.

Adjusting the PCF/PCH movements
It is possible to fine tune the PCF/PCH controls to your own preference. Both the manual and geared movements are possible to adjust. Note that fine tuning the PCF/PCH controls is a precise task and should be performed with great care.
