PRODUCT FEATURES

 

accurate degree markings

Accurate degree markings on rotation axes allow for precise positioning of the camera
 

ball friction

Separate control for pre-setting the friction of the ball when unblocked.
 

secondary security lock

ergonomic

Ergonomic and easy to use
 

weight-saving construction

Materials, design and construction techniques have been carefully selected to help save weight without sacrificing stability or strength
 

hydrostatic locking mechanism

The Hydrostat ball locking system is based on a chamber containing fluid, which, when pressurised by the tightening of the lock knob, exerts an even locking force on the ball. The evenness of the force applied by this system compared to the traditional mechanical blocking technique is what gives this head its remarkable load capacity. The Hydrostat system also reduces framing deviation during blocking for greater accuracy.
