The new 

MAXIMA 5.0

 is the ultimate answer for Digital Cinematogra-

phy with  heavy  duty  packages.  Its  outstanding  patented  counterbalance 
compensates payloads from zero to 50 kg, with “perfect balance” through-
out  the  180°  tilt  range. The  patented  continuous  fluid  drag  system  per-
forms from almost freewheeling to extremely consistent drag for maximum 
versatility and perfect diagonal shots.

The 

MAXIMA 5.0

 knobs and levers are ergonomically placed to ensure 

camera  operators  complete  ease-of-use  in  any  situation, whether  in  the 
studio, location or during outside shooting. Drag and counterbalance set-
tings are monitored on a large digital display.

The large sliding camera plate is compatible with Arri, Sony and O’Con-

nor slides. The head comes with a telescopic pan bar and a short front pan 
bar. With the classic Mitchell base the 

MAXIMA 5.0

 interfaces with all flat 

base Mitchel tripods and platforms.

Optional 150mm bowl base can be easily applied.

Before using the MAXIMA 5.0 Fluid Head, please make sure to read 
this user’s & maintenance manual;

Before installing the Fluid Head on the tripod check the tripod 
stability;

Check that the Camera payload (including lenses and accesso-
ries) is lower than the maximum capacity of the MAXIMA 5.0 
Fluid Head;

Before installing the Camera make sure the MAXIMA 5.0 is in 
good conditions and bares no evident damages.
