Panhead PH-157Q: The 3-way panhead with quick release system incorporates some clever features such as a one-touch handle that allows locking of both pan and tilt movements with one twist. The handle is mounted on the left which allows the user to keep his/her right hand free to operate the camera. Slanting toothed gear: Most models in the Sherpa range feature slanting toothed geared elevator for smooth adjustment.
Friction adjuster enables adjustment in tension of the centre column elevator. After extending elevator, tension can be increased by rotating the friction adjuster
