Key Features
7–35 kg Payload
The maker's rated payload for the camera package the system carries and balances.
172 cm Working Height
It works as low as 67 cm, measured from the ground to the camera plate. Folded, it measures 72 cm end to end, for transport and storage.
100mm Bowl
The head sits in a 100mm bowl, so it levels on the legs and swaps for any other 100mm-bowl head.
7 Steps + 0 Counterbalance
Selectable counterbalance steps, plus a zero position, match the head to the camera's weight.
7 Steps + 0 Drag
Selectable fluid drag steps on pan and tilt, plus a zero position for fast, free moves.
Euro Style Quick Release
Takes Euro-style camera plates, the wide sliding plate of heavier cine heads.
2-Stage Legs
Two telescoping sections per leg extend the height range while staying rigid.
Carbon Fiber Legs
Carbon fiber tubes keep the legs light to carry and damp vibration in the shot.
Ground Spreader
A ground spreader braces the feet and keeps the legs steady on smooth floors.
Clamp Locks
Clamp locks hold each leg section firmly under heavy cine loads.
+/-65° Tilt
Illuminated Bubble Level
The bubble level is lit, so the head can be leveled in low light.
