Key Features
3–32 kg Payload
The maker's rated payload for the camera package the system carries and balances.
173 cm Working Height
It works as low as 77 cm, measured from the ground to the camera plate. Folded, it measures 95 cm end to end, for transport and storage.
150mm Bowl
The head sits in a 150mm bowl, so it levels on the legs and swaps for any other 150mm-bowl head.
18 Steps Counterbalance
Selectable counterbalance steps match the head to the camera's weight and center of gravity.
7 Steps + 0 Drag
Selectable fluid drag steps on pan and tilt, plus a zero position for fast, free moves.
Manfrotto 500 Series Quick Release
Takes Manfrotto 501PL-style camera plates, which slide in from the side and lock.
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.
Mid-Level Spreader
A mid-level spreader braces the legs while leaving the ground clear beneath them.
+90°/-75° Tilt
Illuminated Bubble Level
The bubble level is lit, so the head can be leveled in low light.
