E-Image offers this EP880X Pneumatic Pedestal System with Fluid Head and Dolly as a complete camera support platform for professional studio and live productions. The kit features an adjustable pneumatic pedestal, an E-Image GH40 PLUS Fluid Tripod Head, and a six-angle locking dolly. Both fluid head and pedestal are highly adjustable to deliver precise and smooth camera movement.
EP800X Pedestal
E-Image's studio camera support system is based around their EP800X pneumatic pedestal. It delivers stable and consistent camera movements for enhanced accuracy and operator comfort. The central column provides a working height range from 30.8 to 59.7" with a 15" on-shot stroke. An easily accessible air pressure gauge allows one to properly tune the pneumatic elevation system, and an included hand pump can be used for manual adjustment. A locking air valve and safety latch prevent unwanted slippage. The included EI700B dolly features wheels with foot-operated brakes and six-position track locks with cable guards to mitigate equipment damage.
GH40 PLUS Fluid Head
The fluid head is engineered to carry camera rigs of up to 88.2 lb, enough to accommodate industry-standard studio camera ecosystems. It is paired to interface with the EP800X's 150mm bowl and includes two telescoping pan handles with thick sculpted handles for maximum comfort. Precise pan and tilt are made possible by twelve grades of adjustable drag.
Take full advantage of these damping settings by using the GH40 PLUS's extensive counterbalance system. After adjusting the placement of the camera using the 205mm sliding plate, nine steps of counterbalance can be tweaked even further by utilizing the extra fine adjustment knob. The head is equipped with an illuminated bubble level and a selectable payload mechanism to achieve proper balance for both light and heavy camera setups. 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes are available on the sides of the head to mount monitor supports or other camera accessories (available separately).
