The Video 18 S1 and Video 20 S1 fluid heads can now be balanced even more quickly and easily than their predecessor models. The counterbalance, now increased to 16 steps, allows for especially fine adjustment. The Video 20 S1 now offers a minimum payload of two kilograms instead of seven, just like the Video 18 S1.
Due to the broader payload range, the new generation of the classics is no longer limited to ENG and EFP uses and can now be used with a greater spectrum of cameras. Because the minimum payload starts at two kilograms, these heads can also be used with DSLR cameras that have full HD video function. Thanks to the fairly high density of the tripod heads in relationship to the camera, the heads are able to provide greater precision in panning than small and lightweight heads.
Marco Vucic and his team were among the first to test the new Video 20 S1 with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. The result: "Efficient and precise".
The Boost Button guarantees a quick payload range shift. Special features such as the ergonomic turning knob for counterbalancing, the seven horizontal and vertical grades of drag, as well as the parking positions for spare camera screws ensure efficiency while working.
Léon Jansen was one of the first to work with the new Video 18 S1 fluid head. During the rallye through the deserts of South America this head was subject to especially severe conditions of heat, dust, mud and rough handling.
