The Kessler Crane Hercules 2.0 Head is a super-robust, solid aluminum pan and tilt head featuring a 100mm ball mount as well as 75mm fixed ring mount. It's compatible with both 100mm and 75mm bowl tripods and supports heavy-duty payloads up to 150 lb. Offering a flat surface on top with two 1/4"-20 mounting threads, this head supports direct attachment of Kessler cranes and sliders (except for the 5 ft CineSlider for stability purposes), allowing thus for very stable connection. To mount a camera, you'll just need an optional quick-release system that can be bolted into the 1/4"-20 threads. You can use the Kessler Crane Kwik Release or Manfrotto 577 adapter/plate system.
This head features Kessler's Bio-Glide technology, which allows for very smooth pan and tilt movement — smoother than of standard fluid heads — and spring assisted drag control. Tilt can be pin-locked, allowing the head to function as a Kessler Fluid Swivel. A removable pan handle is included. A bubble level is built in.
Leveling is not supported on 75mm tripods because of 75mm system limitations in surface area.
