Features:
- Ten step dynamic counterbalancing system
- Using torsion springs the dynamic counterbalancing system compensates for torque as the camera tilts, preventing it from inadvertently tipping, and ensuring that it is stable at any angle (freeing the operator to concentrate fully on camerawork). These springs you may adjust individually and independently from the damping system; as such, they work silently and without maintenance.
- Sliding balance plate
- The sliding balance plate with a 4.7" (120 mm) sliding range allows the operator to compensate precisely for a variety of configuration weights, ensuring perfect balance across the horizontal plane.
- Locks
- Vibration-less vertical and horizontal disc brakes for maximum safety in fast-paced reporting situations.
- Bubble level
- Built-in illuminated bubble for horizontal leveling uses a conventional battery and ensures easy leveling even under unfavorable lighting conditions.
- Fast-action leg locks
- Rapid, secure cam-based system locks tripod legs in seconds.
