Perfect Balance with meter

Continuous Perfect Balance keeps the camera balanced at any tilt angle. The foldaway knob adjusts the spring smoothly from minimum to maximum, and a meter always shows the setting.

Center tilt lock

For the safety of the camera, the head can be physically locked in the center tilt position. The arrow-shaped knob and lock symbols are visible even from a distance.

Flat base and ball

The head has a flat base with 4 bolts, and the supplied BL-150 adapter turns it into a 150 mm ball. It fits tripods and pedestals alike.

QD stands for Quality Defined

According to Libec, the QD series redefines the balance between price, payload and performance in its class. The camera plate attaches and detaches with one touch for speedy setup.
