H580 Magnum Pan and Tilt Head
Designed to support fully decked Studio and OB cameras equipped with long boxed lenses, 7 inch viewfinder or large teleprompter, the Magnum is an extremely compact fluid head incorporating a patented counterbalance system as well as an advanced fluid damping module. Manufactured with an extensive use of ultra-strong aluminum alloy, the Magnum provides for outstandingly precise movements and consistently high drag output. The unique patented counterbalance system is ideally suited to operate with cameras featuring a high center of gravity and weighing from 40 to 95 Kg (88 - 209 lbs). Cameras within this range can be perfectly balanced through the entire 130deg. tilt angle.

Calibrated with a variable adjustment connected to a digital readout display, the counterbalance operating knob is conveniently located on the side of the head. The frictionless fluid damping modules also feature a patented design which provides for extraordinary performances over an extended temperature range, with smooth and precise movements together with a linear response in any critical environment. The continuously variable fluid control knobs located on sides of the head have an innovative flip folding design , are easy to reach and are connected to a digital readout which allows the cameraman for a quick set-up even in low light conditions.

The effective control brakes on both, pan and tilt mode are located on the front left side of the control panel and can be operated with a single hand.
