The Arrowx 1 is an entry-level head 100mm bowl head tripod with a payload capacity of 16kg (35lb). It has 5+0 positions of pan and tilt drag, and 16 positions of counterbalance with CB Plus.

The CB Plus one flick” switch conveniently located at the front of the head, adds a half step between each of the eight larger steps enabling counterbalance fine-tuning when required.
