Key Features
2–28 kg Payload
The maker's rated payload for the camera package the system carries and balances.
174 cm Working Height
It works as low as 73 cm, measured from the ground to the camera plate. Folded, it measures 94 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.
16 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.
Touch & Go Quick Release
Its clamp takes Touch & Go camera plates.
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°/-70° Tilt
Illuminated Bubble Level
The bubble level is lit, so the head can be leveled in low light.
