CARE
AND CLEANING
In
the short time I have owned it, I have gotten the B1 wet with
no adverse effect. However,
I would recommend that it should be dried off at once after
use. The ballhead
should be kept clean and dry before storage.

That
said, alcohol and a Q-tip is all that is needed. Arca-Swiss does not recommend any kind of lubrication. A
neoprene pouch such as a Zing lens pouch can help keep it
free from dirt and dust and padded during non-use or when
traveling.
CONCLUSION
| The
B1 is one hell of a ballhead.
It is a highly precision instrument manufactured to
very low tolerances and includes many benefits:
lightweight, high load capacity, smooth ball action,
fast efficient shooting, precision panning and an aspherical
dry-coated ball. If you decide to get one today,
ensure you get the version with the
silver thumbscrew. You and your photography
will be all the better for it!
Peace. |
