Description
It is essential to mount different camera configurations on the same head (whether on a tripod, slider, etc.) with perfect control and balance, but without unnecessarily large dimensions and weight.
Manfrotto Nitrotech offers a revolutionary solution for continuous, stepless counterbalance control through a nitrogen-plunger piston mechanism - from 0 to 8 kg at 55mm center of gravity!
Adjusting the movement on the horizontal and vertical axes through convenient rotary mechanisms, guarantees smooth and devoid of vibrations of the head!
A socket with 3/8 inch thread is also available for winding up the turret arm for accessories. The tile is arranged for easy adjustment.
The tile flap is equipped with a quick release mechanism and the camera can be mounted on top, as well as removable in a simple upward motion!
Backlit level for easy adjustment even in dark environments.
The head is subjected to extremely rigorous testing before it reaches the line
Security - The plate and locking mechanism have been tested over 5,000 times - insertion / removal
Durability - Each drag control button has been tested over 5,000 times
Tilt Test - Head is placed in its final positions (from +90 to -70 degrees) 5000 times
Pan Test - Parts are checked and assembled with no backlash
Nitrogen Piston - Usable at temperatures from -15C to 50C
Sand Test - In order to mimic desert use, several kilos of sand have been poured over the head, but the piston does not deviate from normal operation!
Salt test - Salt is a known enemy of metallic mechanical parts, but our head showed no change in performance.
Drift test - Check movement for pan and tilt locks
Piston Check - Each part is checked separately to ensure maximum head performance!
Level - 100% tested and accurate!
