DS-20 Fluid Head


Multi-Step Pan & Tilt Fluid Drag System
The multi-step Fluid Drag system ensures smooth, consistent fluid drag control across all temperature ranges and through a wide range of light and heavy settings. By being independent of payload weight, provides smooth “starts” and dead “stops” for precise framing without any backlash. The system is fully sealed within sub-assemblies for a leakproof, low maintenance life.

Preset Counterbalancing


Uses a special designed counterbalanced system, to neutralize the effect of payloads and their centers of gravity. The built-in preset counterbalance system optimizes tilt control in the intended capacity range.

Quick Release Camera Platform


Fitted with a precision, sliding quick release camera platform with self-engaging action. Ensuring rapid camera attachment, while the built-in safety lock guarantees camera safety during setup and pull-down.

Built-in bubble for horizontal leveling
