3-way pan head offers separate controls: tilt (up and down), pan (left and right), and horizon leveling (landscape and portrait orientation). This provides more precise adjustments on one axis while not affecting the other two axis for accurate framing of the object.

The SLIK SH-747FC is a 3-way pan and tilt head equipped with a newly designed “Arca-Swiss” compatible platform which is 90 deg. rotatable. It allows to mount the Arca-Swiss quick release plate faces sideway and forwards.

The SLIK SH-747FC also offers pan and tilt friction controls that are separate from the the pan/tilt handle locks. This allows the photographer to fine-tune the tightness (drag) of the movement based on the weight of the camera and lens.

Rotatable QRS Platform
90 deg. rotatable ”Arca-Swiss” compatible QRS platform allows a camera to be mounted perpendicular to or parallel to the tilting direction of the pan head. It is very useful feature when replacing a camera with an L-bracket from a single-focus lens to a super telephoto lens with a mounting arm.

Independent Pan & Tilt Friction Control
The independent pan & tilt friction control dial allows you to fine-tune the "drag" or "resistance" you feel in your hand while panning or tilting. This ensures smoother framing movements during video recording. Moderate resistance is also ideal when chasing fast-moving subjects.

Short Vertical Tilt Knob
By replacing the vertical pan handle to a short knob, there is no need to remove the vertical pan handle when storing the tripod in the bag. Of course, vertical pan handle is also included in the package, if you want to operate the pan head in conventional style.

Dual Bubble Leveler
Equipped with a dual bubble levelers that can set the horizontal level of the camera when the platform is set to a horizontal position or a vertical position.
