Fluid Head
When working with heavier cameras in studio or on location, being able to work quickly, effectively and safely gives you more time to get the best results. The Video 60 Studio fluid head’s 18-step counterbalance system allows you to achieve perfectly adjusted balance quickly and simply. The sliding balance plate has a range of up to 115 mm, giving you even more precise adjustment and safety at any angle. All while supporting a maximum payload of 65 kg. The Touch & Go quick release and automatic locking reduce mounting and releasing your camera to a matter of seconds. Once you are set and ready to go, the frictionless leak proof fluid drag with nine levels of drag gives you perfectly smooth movement both vertically and horizontally. The Video 60 has easily identifiable, direct response horizontal and vertical brakes that are vibration free. The integrated assembly lock lets you mount the camera safely. Whatever your schedule, the Sachtler Video 60 Plus Studio won’t slow you down.
