E-Image EH60 Tripod System Overview

The E-Image EK60AAM Fluid Drag Video Head and Tripod is a video head and dual-stage tripod leg system designed for video cameras and rigs weighing up to 17.6 lb. The system consists of the EH60 fluid drag head, the AT7402A aluminum tripod legs with a fixed mid-level spreader, one HD7060 adjustable pan handle, and a soft bag for carrying the system. The head has fixed pan and tilt fluid drag for smooth camera moves, and a spring-loaded counterbalance system adjustable in three steps.

The included sliding balance plate attaches to your camera with either of the included 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 camera tie-down screws. It then slides into the head's top plate, quickly and securely attaching your camera to the tripod. You can adjust the balance of the camera on the tripod head by sliding the baseplate forward or backward. The sliding balance plate system features a safety release to help prevent the sliding baseplate from accidentally sliding out of the tripod head.

E-Image EH60 Tripod System Reviews

Smoother than some named brand tripod

By Peter
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2022-03-07

I bought this years ago and never used it because it is heavy and I thought my bogen tripod with nitrotech head is just as good. But I found that video shot with the bogen has a lot of jitters when I pan. Out of desperation, I hauled out this e-image tripod and tried it and it pans a lot smoother! I'll be using this a lot more from now on. I wish the counterbalance has finer settings. Now, it's either none or too much so I have to hold on to the handle to prevent the camcorder from tilting. It is possible I don't know how to adjust the nitrotech head properly so I'm not writing that off just yet. More experiments are needed.

Can't believe how well made this is

I had minor hope for this being a good tripod. It is awesome. Very heavy duty and the video head is very smooth.

question

Hi, can I take the tripod head off and mount a varizoom solo jib in it? Would it hold?
Asked by: Gian C.
This tripod has a load capacity of 17.6 pounds, while a Varizoom Solo Jib that is Carbon Fiber will weigh right around 7 pounds. If you keep the weight of the camera you are putting on it low this tripod will be able to handle the Varizoom Jib. The jib will also connect right to the tripod head, you would not need to remove it.

question

Can an additional level bubble be purchased? Ours came out and was lost, without that the head is useless.
Asked by: Tobias R.
Since I have set up tripods thousands of times, I concur a video tripod without a bubble level is quite useless or at the very least, very difficult to use.Unfortunately, we do not stock this replacement part. Please contact E-image at the following link. http://www.e-imageusa.com/contacts/In the mean time, you might consider either of these two Manfrotto's as a stop-gap solution.

Is the pan handle BH #EIGB2 compatible with this?

Is the pan handle BH #EIGB2 compatible with this?
Asked by: Scott
You can take the handle off and put on a different one but the joint is rather small compared to some bigger tripods. So its a small pan handle which can be removed and switched but it's nice on it's own but can be switched out if you find another of similar size

Hi I just ordered the E-Image 60AAM, is this tripod compatible with BMPCC4K?
Asked by: atousa
Yes. The mounting plate screws into the borrow of the camera and slides on the head. This video head can angle the weight easily. It’s an decent low cost set up!

question

can you remove the head and put on a short glide?
Asked by: Jeremiah M.
The short answer is yes.You will need an adapter. I suggest either one of the attached adapters seen below.The Manfrotto has a low profile and is very solid. However, there is no leveling possible, for it holds the head in just one position. The ikan adapter is more expensive, rests the head and camera about 2 higher. However you can level with it.
