Fluid Head

- The 60 mm half ball allows you to quickly level the head without having to readjust the legs. It also makes it simpler to create dutch angled shots without dangerously unbalancing the tripod.
- The spring loaded counterbalance is fixed at 5.3 pounds, however the head supports 11 pounds, and the counterbalance will still provide assistance when using camera set ups heavier than 5.3 pounds.
- Professional fluid cartridges provide fixed fluid drag in both the pan and tilt axes.
- The head features a tilt range of 90 degrees forward and 70 degrees back, allowing you to tilt the camera straight down, and tilt it almost straight up.
- The head pans through 360 degrees, allowing you to take long panoramic shots or spin the camera around on the head.
- The side lock system allows the sliding QR plate to click into the head from above, instead of needing to be aligned and slid in from the back. This gives you the speed of a touch and go quick release with the balance adjustment capability of a sliding QR plate.
- An integrated bubble level on the head aids you in quickly leveling the fluid head.
- The included 500PLONG sliding QR plate also includes both a 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 camera tie down screws.
