Component breakdown

Fluid drag system
The continuously adjustable drag allows you to fine-tune resistance for both pan and tilt. This gives smoother starts and stops, which is essential for professional-looking video movement.

Pan and tilt control
Independent locks for panning and tilting let you secure one axis while adjusting the other. The full 360° pan range and wide tilt range make it suitable for tracking shots, interviews, and overhead angles.

Quick release system
The side-load plate design makes mounting and removing your camera faster and safer, especially when working on a tripod at height. Compatibility with 501-type plates, including those used on DJI RS 2, RS 3, and RS 4, adds flexibility across different setups.

Mounting and compatibility
The 60 mm flat base with a 3/8"-16 thread fits a broad range of tripods and support systems. An integrated ARRI accessory mount allows for attaching arms, monitors, or other accessories directly to the head.

Levelling
A built-in bubble level helps keep your shots aligned with the horizon, reducing the need for correction in post.
