The FOCUS HD fluid head is the ideal support for the latest smaller, lighter
high-performance cameras weighing from 0 to 12 kg (0 to 26 lbs).
Extremely compact and lightweight, the innovative FOCUS HD features a
continuously variable fluid damping system on both pan and tilt movements
and an unrivaled patented variable counterbalance which brings its
range of use to cover all existing ENG and lighter high-performance
cameras.
The FOCUS HD head comes equipped with a quick release sliding camera
plate, illuminated spirit level and telescopic pan bar. Its tilting range is +/-
90° with perfect response throughout the entire tilt range. It interfaces with
all 100 mm bowl base tripods and supports.
The extreme ruggedness and versatility together with a superior
quality/price ratio make the FOCUS HD the best possible support for news
Operators and Videographers.
• Before using your new FOCUS HD, please read the user manual.
• Before installing the Fluid Head on the Tripod check the Tripod stability.
• Verify that the camera payload (including lens and all accessories) is
below the maximum capacity of the Fluid Head.
• Before mounting the camera make sure that the Fluid Head is in perfect
operative conditions with no apparent damages.
