Ergonomic controls

Brake levers and operating knobs are within easy reach, and a horizontal lock secures the platform during camera changes.

Illuminated spirit level

Controls on the sides

The drag and counterbalance knobs and brake levers are laid out so the operator finds them without looking and works them with one hand.

Sliding platform

The wide sliding platform with a scale lets you centre and balance the camera precisely, even with bulky accessories.

Payload versus centre of gravity

The chart shows how much camera weight the head’s counterbalance can balance depending on how high above the plate the centre of gravity of the rig sits. The higher the centre of gravity, the lower the payload the head can hold in balance.
