Key Features
0–12 kg Payload
The maker's rated payload for the camera package the system carries and balances.
168 cm Working Height
It works as low as 67 cm, measured from the ground to the camera plate. Folded, it measures 76 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.
Continuous Counterbalance
The counterbalance adjusts continuously, so it can be matched to any camera in the payload range.
Continuous Drag
Fluid drag on pan and tilt adjusts continuously, to suit any speed of move.
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.
Aluminum Legs
Aluminum tubes stand up to hard use and rough handling on set and on location.
Mid-Level Spreader
A mid-level spreader braces the legs while leaving the ground clear beneath them.
+/-90° Tilt
Illuminated Bubble Level
The bubble level is lit, so the head can be leveled in low light.
