This makes them ideal for lightweight camcorders such as those from the DVCAM, HDV and DV classes. The Fluid head DV 6 SB features 75 mm tripod fittings and is thus perfect for news gathering. Another feature of the fluid head is its self-illuminated Touch Bubbles that make balancing in poor light conditions even easier.

While stepless systems often require time-consuming adjustments by trial and error, graduated-step counterbalance gives you perfect set-ups on demand.
