Description
Supporting cameras and prompters weighing up to 127.9 lb, the System 60 Vario 1-70 from Sachtler allows a single camera operator to rapidly change camera positions and make camera moves on smooth interior and exterior surfaces. Designed to provide a comfortable eyeline for both seated and standing subjects, the system has a height range of 35. 4 to 67.7" with an extremely smooth height adjustment of 16.1" within the shot, powered by a pressurized air system charged by the included manual pump. Safely move the pedestal system over the floor in either standard or crab steering mode, and the wheel's cable guards help protect you from accidentally rolling over cables.Frictionless leak proof fluid damping with Nine levels of drag A prerequisite for perfect pictures is a panning movement without jerks and vibrations. Sachtler's patented damping system takes everything is stride. The individual modules are frictionless and contain no hydraulic oil. This means they are permanently leak proof. The damping action of heads is identical across both horizontal and vertical planes and offers you nine steps of drag, for smooth camerawork under the toughest of rough conditions. You can completely disengage the drag for fast panning without affecting the dynamic counterbalance system. Touch & Go Quick Release / Automatic Locking System Stop wasting time by fumbling around with clumsy attachments, or bother screwing the camera to head and then having to unscrew it again. With the Touch & Go system invented by Sachtler, the camera plate is secured to the camera, while the mating balance plate is mounted on the fluid head. All you need to do is slip the camera into position, engage the mechanism, and the camera is locked firmly in place, when finished just disengage the latch and go. When you set up the camera for the next shot you still have all the original settings. Also features a safety lock lever that prevents inadvertent disengagement of the camera latch.Sliding Balance Plate The sliding camera mount and plate with a 4.5-inch (150mm Ball Base) or 4.7-inch (Flatbase) sliding range, allows you to compensates precisely for a variety of configuration weights. Ensuring perfect balance across the horizontal plane. Most importantly, once adjusted, the settings cannot be lost. 18 Step dynamic counterbalancing system Built with torsion springs the dynamic counterbalancing system compensates for torques as the camera tilts, preventing the camera from inadvertently tipping, and ensuring that it is positioned securely at any tilt angle. Freeing you to concentrate fully on your camerawork. Its 18-step counterbalance allows adjustments via dial, in 9 stages and fine tune by half step function, and can be activated and deactivated individually. Independent from the damping system, they work silently and without the need for maintenance.Safe at any temperature Pressure or temperature does not influence the damping system, it has an operating range from -40 F to +140 F, and works without friction. Shoot wherever you want, from torrid heat to cold climates. None Vibrationless vertical / horizontal brakes, for maximum safety in fast-paced reporting situations. None Built-in illuminated bubble for horizontal leveling, uses a conventional battery and ensures easy leveling even under unfavorable lighting conditions.None Load capacity of: 132 lb.
