Add a professional fluid head to support smooth movements with heavier ENG and digital cinema rigs with the MH22 Motus 100mm Pro Fluid Head from E-Image. The Motus features a full-range counterbalance with up to 48.5 lb of maximum load, a 100mm half ball mount, dual pan handles, four steps of pan and tilt drag, and locks for each axis, allowing you to easily customize the head to suit a studio or field production rig.
The top of the Motus head is dominated by a sliding balance platform with a top-loading, 501-type sliding quick release camera plate with a 4.7" sliding range. Once the plate is secured, the entire platform adjusts to balance your camera setup using four steps of pan drag and four steps of tilt drag, continuous counterbalance adjustments, 360° panning, and -67/+90° of tilt range.
Both sides of the head feature rosette mounts for the included left and right pan handles to create smooth pan and tilt movements. The illuminated bubble level allows you to level the camera in any lighting environment. The base of the head terminates in a 100mm ball mount with a bowl locking knob for fine adjustments, so you can mount it onto industry-standard tripods, jibs, sliders, or other grip equipment with 100mm bowls.
Secured with its 100mm bowl, the MH22 boasts payload capabilities up to 48.5 lb, providing sturdy support for your next award-winning shot.
Quick Release Plate System
Designed to conveniently snap equipment onto the plate system from the top of the head, but then just as easily release the camera with the push of a button, the MH22 501-type quick release plate is suitable for rigs with heavy payloads.
The MH22's specially designed dual-locking system takes this tripod head to a whole new level. With one click, the release plate is held securely in place, restricted from both detaching or sliding.
Continuous Variable Counterbalance
The MH22's stepless system offers continuous variable counterbalance support from the maximum payload all the way down to zero, preventing a camera from tilting forward or backward on its own. A hand crank and visualized date display allow operators to fine-tune exact counterbalance settings.
Independent controls for pan and tilt on the MH22, both ranging in grade from 1 to 8, give an added element of precision needed to achieve a comfortable and accurate feel when shooting.
The MH22's quick-locking knobs for both pan and tilt ensure that, even if you need to walk away from the camera, your equipment will stay securely in place.
The MH22's illuminated bubble level ensures balance modifications are as stress-free as possible, no matter the lighting situation.
