[archivue]

SO similar to M and F line Arca's design... but different to the cube and D4...
i'm still in love with my D4 !

compared to the d4 it looks unnessesarily complicated and bulky. I really like my d4, however something similar but lighter would be my preference.

Lower profile and lighter would be my preference...

i thinks, there's a market for a cube, but smaller !

Still, i highly recommend the D4... not cheap, but so nice !

I have tried them all . I have an ARCA CUBE since many ages , in fact , the first model , an ARCA D4 , an ARCA P0 and two lovely self built miniCUBES (60mm)
. . . . . but I must say : nothing can beat the CUBE . NOTHING .

How much is this thing?

Ever since getting KPS T5 (on Ken Doo's recommendation), my lust for cube has been cured.
Small unit, geared movements and a ballhead in one - whats not to like.

Why not both?

Why not both?

Yeah - one for the camera and the other one for fine adjustemts of our GAS

1.2kg. Ouch.

1.2kg. Ouch.

I think that's actually more than the Cube, no?

and the D4.

and the D4.

I think that while this head may be a bit heftier than desired for some, it's worth considering that Cambo did not necessarily design the head exclusively for landscape use. For studio use, this could be an excellent addition to a studio stand. Cambo did not previously have a geared head in their lineup, and now they do have one. It makes sense that it might service multiple markets.
