Overview
The NOVOFLEX Modular Geared Head KOPF2 Base Model presents itself as an outstanding, compact, and simultaneously modular geared head that combines the highest precision with impressive versatility. Developed for demanding areas of photography such as architecture, studio, macro, repro, and astrophotography, this innovative head allows independent adjustments in both axes (basic version).
Easily control coarse movements around the horizontal and vertical axes (tilting) using the side clamping levers, while finer adjustments can be made with the adjustment screw. The self-locking fine drive prevents unintended falls or descents of heavy camera constructions when the side clamping lever for coarse adjustment is closed. Enabling particularly small, precise angular movements is achievable by enlarging the diameter of the fine adjustment screw using the optionally available CAST-FINE-K fine adjustment handle. The KOPF2 can be configured for use by both left and right-handed individuals.
The joints of the horizontal and vertical axes feature adjustable and zero angle scales for reproducable angular positions. Integrated bubble levels allow for precise adjustment of these angles to 0°, facilitating targeted navigation to specific positions or setting defined angular intervals. The upper and lower device mounting brackets are equipped with an ARCA-compatible dovetail profile, a 3/8"-16 thread with a 1/4"-20 adapter, a 1/4"-20 mounting screw, video pin holes for secure mounting, and recesses for safety pins. The ARCA-compatible dovetail profile also allows direct insertion of the head into a corresponding quick-release system or a panorama panning base with an integrated coupling.
The KOPF2 Modular Geared Head Basic Model does not include the upper quick-release clamp and lower panorama base. Both components can be supplemented with existing equipment or as an option from the NOVOFLEX product range.
