  Notes on use: 
 
 
 
  
 
   

    Optimal for setups up to 25 kg; ideal for telephoto lenses (e.g., 400–600 mm) or spotting scopes such as the Swarovski BTX 115. Heavier setups require careful balancing. 
   
 
 
  
 
   

    Users praise the smooth movements and lightweight construction (e.g., "perfect for birdwatching with Swarovski").
   
 
 
  
 
   

    Regular cleaning of the bearings and screws is recommended, especially after use in sand or salt water.
   
 
 
  
 
   

    For larger spotting scopes or telephoto lenses (e.g., 800 mm), a longer Arca-style plate (e.g., 130 mm) may be necessary to optimize balance.
   
 
 
  
 
   

    The spirit level aids alignment.
