Recieved the Arca Swiss 75 a couple minutes ago and want to share a couple thoughts.
I had used the Cube for many years shooting Phase One and Tech and enjoyed it. I sold the Cube (I'll start calling it Pop) shortly after I stopped using eith the Phase and Tech. I still used an Arca Swiss head and missing Pop I decided to buy the 60 which until the 75 was introduced was called the "Mini". I caught myself thinking of getting Pop again when Arca Swiss introduced the 75 and I held off. I ordered the 75 (which I am now calling Mini) mid Novemeber from B&H and received it today. Just so we can all keep up I've begun calling the 60 "Baby"; the 75 "Mini" and the orginal is "Pop".
The Mini is much smaller than Pop as I remember. It is however slightly larger than Baby. There's a lot to like about the Mini. Slightly larger, with larger numbers and control knobs. It can also be adjusted higher than the Baby.
Here's what the Baby and Mini look like together...
Here are a couple shots of the Mini configured at the stops...
Here's what they weigh
Mini
Baby
Both heads are attached to a RRS QR plate. Checked B&H and find they are currently in stock with free shipping. :SPAM:
Was spending $725 worth it? I'd have to say yes it was.
Happy New Years to all
