ESCRIPTION

 

The 

P70 PLUS

 

Pedestal 

is a compact 

portable system for STUDIO and OB use. 

It consists of a column with an air pow-

ered lift mechanism and a collapsible skid. 

It is designed for a camera, fluid head and 

accessories with a total weight of  70  kg/154 
lbs. 

The central column is innovatively de-

signed to provide maximum stability and per-
fect control, eliminating the risk of rebounds 
and ensuring exceptionally smooth wheeling 
combined with accurate movement. 

Air can be introduced into the column us-

ing a pump or a compressor attached to the 

filler valve. 

The column can be fully extended while 

the camera remains perfectly balanced sim-
ply by activating the bleeder valve to release 
the excess air. 

The 

P70 PLUS

 

Pedestal 

is available in 

two (indoor and outdoor) versions, each with 
its own wheel design. 

A foot-bar  is available as an accessory 

(Fig. 5).
