I have high expectations and this ball head exceeded them. Extremely well made with high end materials and tactile controls make adjustments quick and precise. Easily supports my heavier lens setups. Highly recommended!

Love the Panorama head. No slippage even with the 70-200. Only thing i don’t like is the leveling bubble is kinda hard to see. Having to pay an additional 160 dollars for a leveling base with the bubble on the side hurts. Other than that it’s an awesome product.

Thanks so much for the 5 star review! A leveling base will make things much easier than adjusting legs. You can always add one later and if you do not mind a scratch or two, give us a call or email and ask if we have any cosmetic seconds for sale. Sincerely, Patty Acratech, Inc.

I called your company from Australia soon after receiving the ball head to say how much I liked it and the woman that answered the phone hung up on me. I didn't appreciate her response.
Response from AcratechNov 17, 2021
Thank you, we value your feedback. I am the only woman who answers the phone and I do not remember being disconnected with anyone. I apologize if there was a mishap but we would never hang up on a customer. The only problem we had recently was with a power outage and I was on a call at the time but I believe that I spoke with the customer shortly after. I am sorry if it was not you.

Had a question on L-plates for the Z6 and interference with the new Nikon r11b . Had a long and detailed conversation with customer support and got great advice on why this is happening and they don't have an L-plate solution so ended up getting the standard plate. Great Support!
Response from AcratechNov 17, 2021
Hi, I remember speaking with you and am sorry that we do not have a dedicated L plate for you. I hope that the standard plate is working out for you. The Z cameras also need the FTZ adaptor plate and a lens plate (if shooting a lens with a tripod foot) This is because when shooting with the FTZ both the L bracket and camera plate are not able to be used. This was done to prevent a user from mounting big F lenses on the body which would put too much stress on the mount. The lens plate is preferred when shooting on any lens regardless of the type of mount. Thanks again and happy shooting. Sincerely, Patty Acratech, Inc.

Acratech's panohead has been an absolutely incredible find! I've been using a Really Right Stuff panohead for many, many years (now no longer available). It's incredibly versatile and durable. But it's also very heavy. Enter Acratech's panohead! Incredibly light, great design and manufactured with quality materials. Finally a solution for those long hikes where any and all weight is at a premium. Thank you Acratech! Jeff

Hi Jeffrey, Wow, love your review. Our Panorama Head is also extremely versatile as it can be used as a Long Lens Head and with the indexable clamp, it allows you to put a camera body directly on the head too. Our focus is to keep our equipment strong, light, versatile and we design and manufacture everything in our Pomona, CA facility. Many thanks from all of us at Acratech!
