Libec's unique continuous perfect counterbalance system enables the camera to perfectly balance at any tilt angle. This smooth balance system makes it a lot easier for users to concentrate on precise camera movements, even when using a telephoto lens at its maximum zoomed position.
Newly Designed Fluid Head
From scratch, the fluid head was designed to dramatically reduce play inside its superior pan and tilt drag units, dramatically increasing its longevity. From start to finish, this new fluid head provides ultra-smooth movements and is equipped with many features that enhance a user's experience.
Counterbalance Meter
Equipped with a counterbalance meter with the measurement range of 0 to 100. This allows users to glance at the head's minimum/maximum inner spring strength, making camera balances on site a piece of cake.
Snap On/Off Plate
The slide plate can be attached and released with just one-touch. Quick and easy setups in the field are easily achieved.
Advanced Drag Unit
The layered metal unit in the drag system ensures operability, durability and reliability. Thanks to the finest silicon grease applied, the advanced drag unit offers smoother starts and ultimately improved backlash control. In addition, the grease provides ordinary pan and tilt movements at a wide temperature range from -40ËšC/-40ËšF up to +60ËšC/+140ËšF. The variable 4 step drag pan tilt system features a zero "free" mode option with no friction. Unlike other brand heads, there is no need to store it in its zero "free" mode.
Dual Head
The Dual-head base specification allows for a quick set-up with both 75mm bowl and flat base tripods. The Dual-head base is also compatible with sliders, skater dollies, and photo tripods.
User Friendly Accessory Port
Equipped on the fluid head's side, there are 1/4 and 3/8 inch screw holes allowing users to attach an accessory arm to hold monitors, lights and other accessories. Since the holes are located on the base, the payload capacity, center of gravity and front-rear balance of the head are not affected.
LED Bubble Level
The bubble level is equipped with an LED light allowing users to level a tripod head in the dark. In addition, the counterbalance meter is also illuminated.
