For LX10, RHP75, RHP85, GH75 and GH85 heads

The handle clamps to the side of the head and passes every hand movement to it when panning and tilting. Libec lists it for the LX10, RHP75, RHP85, GH75 and GH85 heads.

Adjustable length

Extend or shorten the handle to suit your stance and the camera height. A longer lever gives finer control over the move.

Two-handed control

A second handle on the left makes slow pans and tracking shots smoother. The LX10 Studio system uses two handles this way.

A genuine Libec part

The handle comes straight from the Japanese tripod maker Libec (Heiwa Seiki), which also lists it as a service part. It fits the heads it was designed for precisely.
