SpeedBalance... With its payload of 26.4 lbs, the DV8 SB Fluid Head offers high-precision and extremely fast counterbalance to all digital camcorder operators. The head is called SpeedBalance, because it features 10 step counterbalance, greatly reducing set-up time.

In addition to finer counterbalance graduation, SpeedBalance heads also have an increased payload range, including a reduction in minimum payload. This makes them ideal for lightweight camcorders such as those from the DVCAM, HDV and DV classes.

The Fluid head DV 8 SB features 75 mm tripod fittings and is thus perfect for news gathering. Another feature of the new fluid heads is their self-illuminated Touch Bubbles that make balancing in poor light conditions even easier.

It has a 75mm / 3" bowl base, and Double extension design, alowing for complete flexibility, and ease of operation so you can be creative without any restrictions.
