The E-Image EK50AAM Fluid Drag Video Head and Tripod is a video head and dual stage tripod leg system designed for video cameras weighing up to 13.2 pounds. The head has fixed pan and adjustable tilt fluid drag for smooth camera movements. The included quick release (QR) plate attaches to your camera with either of the included 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 camera tie-down screws. With the camera attached, the QR plate snaps into the cradle, which quickly and securely attaches your camera to the tripod head. The QR plate release system features a safety mechanism to help prevent accidentally releasing of the plate. The head also features an integrated forward/backward sliding plate which allows you to balance the camera on the head for optimal operation on a shot-by-shot need.
