The 503HDV Pro Fluid Video Head is intended for mid-sized camcorders weighing up to 17.6 lbs (8 kg). It features a quick-release camera plate and extra smooth fluid-dampened pan and tilt movements with separate locks. The continuously-variable fluid drag system provides just the right amount of dampening for any shot--from whip pans to slow motion, just dial in drag to touch. This capability, in conjunction with the 3-step counterbalance, delivers the type of fingertip camera control normally reserved for much more costly fluid heads.
