OConnor Ultimate 1040 Fluid Head
This guide describes the installation, configuration and operation of
the OConnor Ultimate 1040 Fluid Head.
The Ultimate 1040 fluid head brings the same quality build and
precision movement found the larger OConnor 2575 and 2065 heads
to enable cinematographers easily move from heavier to lighter
payload camera set-ups without compromise.
Features of the lightweight yet sturdy fluid head include a step-less,
ultra-smooth pan and tilt fluid drag custom designed to provide
ultimate control and stability, as well as the OConnor Sinusoidal
Counterbalance system that provides true, accurate balance at
any point in the tilt range. Providing perfect balance even for
lighter-weight cameras with counterbalancing down to zero, the
Ultimate 1040 head is made with high-performance magnesium,
and aluminium alloys with stainless steel and genuine carbon fibre
finishing, to deliver consistent results on the most demanding sets.
For camera operators, making the change to smaller, lighter cameras
while retaining quality has never been easier. And most importantly,
the famous OConnor feel, remains the same regardless of payload.
The versatile OConnor Ultimate 1040 supports payloads from 0 to 45
lbs. (20 kg) at a 5” (15 cm) centre of gravity and a +/-90° tilt range.
