    I like the double level, rather than a circular level. Does this mean it has a built-in leveling base for panning?

    New Mexico too. Sometimes even on new buildings. Must be that spiritual vortex effect which throws levels off, or plate techtonics, or....

    Re: Better than an Arca Cube? Korean Head

    I recently purchased the cube and had the ability to return it if I didnt want it. The price is so high. Well its the best piece of kit I have purchased in along time. I would never use another head in the studio.

    This Korean product is a direct rip off. It looks exactly like the arca. The only question is does it work like the swiss head. The arca cube is as well executed as any swiss watch.

    Having had one of these 'swiss watches' I have my doubts as to whether the vaunted quality exists anymore.

    Besides Arca is a French company and no longer a Swiss factory.

    I see your swatches and raise you a swiss army lancer watch that sort of just died..

    While it was still alive it had a great deal of trouble actually keeping the time...

    Does anybody have some information about where to get one of these heads? I'm wondering what they charge for it....

    Playing with words? How about Ford being a Spanish company and no longer an American factory?
