From sweeping landscapes to long-lens wildlife — one head, three powerful roles.
Capture stunning wide vistas with perfectly aligned images every time. The precision degree markings, calibrated tilt scale and adjustable zero pointer let you return to your starting position with confidence.

Beyond panoramas and long lens work, the Acratech Panoramic Head doubles as a precision Pan / Tilt head, giving landscape, architecture, and studio photographers intuitive independent control on both axes.
Doubles as a stable long-lens head. Perfect for telephoto work up to 600mm f/4.0 with smooth tracking.

Without doubt the best tripod head you will ever buy, it's expensive but worth it will be the last one you ever buy. I've got mine on a iFootage TC7 Fastbowl that has a leveling head in it. Build quality is 10/10, it's so well thought out and it's everything you will ever need in a tripod head.
The Acratech Panoramic head is a beautifully machined piece of equipment that is equally adept in function. This head allows for precise aim and base rotation. There is absolutely no creeping of any kind once set. It's sturdiness along with a good tripod ensure vibration free long exposures. In addition I feel safe securing my $7,000 camera/lens combo on it. This head along with the Acratech leveling base are now my permanent tripod set up even when shooting portraits in the studio. In my 20 years of shooting it's one of the best purchases I've ever made.
This head is perfect for my nightscapes images. At 3 am at 9000 ft in the mountain by freezing temperatures with wind you need such a good tool to ease your Milky way panorama. And it is not heavy.
Superior quality and customer service.
Love the pano head. Very well made. Operates very smoothly.
