Taking its
inspiration from our top professional video head models, the 501HDV
features a fixed counterbalance spring set for a typical weight of
camera and accessories of 2.5kg that helps ensure both smoother
tilt movements and greater equipment safety even when tilt locks
are inadvertently left off. The easy-to-reach on/off switch allows
the counterbalance system to be disengaged or re-engaged for
different filming setups. With its improved design, the 501HDV head
offers more ergonomics with locks and knobs that allow a more solid
grip and better fingertip control.
