This 2-way panhead allows panning in the horizontal and vertical axes. Both axes can be locked individually and, thanks to the friction adjustment of the vertical pan, are also suitable for amateur filmmakers.
- The vertical swivel range is 90° in both directions, and the smoothness of movement can be adjusted via a friction setting. On the side of the guide handle attachment there is a bright anodised adjustment knob that can be used to activate a load-bearing spring. For camera weights over three kilograms, this function should always be used so that the camera or spotting scope cannot fall forward or backward if the guide handle is accidentally released.
- The tilt head is equipped with the model 150 fast coupling as standard. It has two integrated spirit levels, which enable precise alignment of both axes. The fast coupling is removable and can be replaced with the model 130 fast coupling or the P101 or P 103 panorama plates (see accessories).
- The fast couplings model 130 and model 150 can be screwed on at a 90° angle so that the tilt head is also suitable for cameras with a portrait angle. They are designed with a dovetail profile (ArcaSwiss and UniQ/C compatible) and have a safety pin that prevents the interchangeable plate from slipping out unintentionally.
- The 050/57 mm quick-release plate is included in the scope of delivery.
- The guide handle can be attached for either right- or left-handed users. The retaining screw is loosened with the key supplied, the guide handle is inserted from the other side and then tightened again.
Due to the modular design of the panhead, it is possible to upgrade this 2-way panhead to a 3-way panhead with the help of the HF 3 high format extension component.
