Key Features
5–21 kg Payload
The maker's rated payload for the camera package the system carries and balances.
197.5 cm Working Height
It works as low as 38.5 cm, measured from the ground to the camera plate.
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.
3-Stage Legs
Three telescoping sections per leg reach the widest height range and fold shortest.
Carbon Fiber Legs
Carbon fiber tubes keep the legs light to carry and damp vibration in the shot.
No Spreader Needed
Each leg locks at its own angle, so the legs stand without a spreader.
+90°/-70° Tilt
Illuminated Bubble Level
The bubble level is lit, so the head can be leveled in low light.
-40°C to 60°C Operating Range
