It features a precise upper rotator with 15 degree stops, a design borrowed from the new Ultimate M1.

The upper rotator can be installed with an offset of +/- 5, 7.5, or 10 degree from the horizon, making it perfect for single row spherical panoramas with various fisheye lenses. Supports up to 7.7lbs (3.5kg).
