Key Features

218 cm Working Height
It works as low as 42 cm, measured from the ground to the camera plate. Folded, it measures 87 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.
4 Steps Counterbalance
Selectable counterbalance steps match the head to the camera's weight and center of gravity.
Continuous Drag
Fluid drag on pan and tilt adjusts continuously, to suit any speed of move.

Carbon Fiber Legs
Carbon fiber tubes keep the legs light to carry and damp vibration in the shot.

Each leg locks at its own angle, so the legs stand without a spreader.
Flip Locks
Lever locks on each leg section open and close with a single flick.
+90°/-70° Tilt
