Reviews about this item

Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

Excellent, well priced, video fluid head.

The libec is being used primarily on a monopod for video. It currently supports a Canon C300 MK III seated on a Zacuto baseplate and it functions well. It pans smoothly, is easy to balance and appears well constructed. My only complaint is that it has been difficult to find extra mounting plates.

Excellent, well priced, video fluid head.

By RONALD M.

The libec is being used primarily on a monopod for video. It currently supports a Canon C300 MK III seated on a Zacuto baseplate and it functions well. It pans smoothly, is easy to balance and appears well constructed. My only complaint is that it has been difficult to find extra mounting plates.

A pinnacle of precision and versatility, the NH30 Ball and Flat Base Video Head with Pan Handle and Long Sliding Plate is an essential tool for videographers seeking professional-grade equipment. The head is equipped with a one-touch attach and release mechanism, streamlining your workflow with its compatibility with both Manfrotto and Sachtler heads. This feature ensures quick and effortless setups, ideal for dynamic shooting environments.

The NH30's sliding plate not only supports rapid changes but also maintains compatibility with a broad range of video heads, enhancing its versatility. On the side of the fluid head, strategically placed 1/4 and 3/8 inch screw holes allow for the attachment of accessory arms, enabling the mounting of monitors or lights without compromising the head's payload capacity, center of gravity, or front-rear balance.

This dual head structure is compatible with both 75mm bowl tripods and flat base tripods, as well as monopods, sliders, skater dollies, and other equipment featuring 3/8 inch screws. Its adaptability makes it a sturdy and durable choice for various production needs.

The NH30 boasts a newly designed multistep counterbalance mechanism, accommodating a wide range of camera configurations. With five steps of counterbalance, including a zero "free" mode, videographers can fine-tune the head's balance with unparalleled precision, ensuring smooth and controlled movements.

Crafted by skilled artisans at Libec Japan, the NH30's innovative design minimizes wobbling and backlash in pan and tilt movements. The result is a video head that offers the best precision operability in its class, setting a new standard for fluid head performance.

The advanced drag unit within the NH30 features a layered metal construction, providing superior operability, durability, and reliability over conventional plastic units. This advanced torque system delivers smoother starts, precise backlash control, and enhanced rigidity, ensuring high-quality, professional footage.

After extensive feedback and focus group discussions, the NH30 has been thoughtfully redesigned with usability in mind. The size, shape, button arrangement, switching dial, and knobs have been optimized for practicality and rationality, making it a user-friendly choice for professionals.

In summary, the NH30 Ball and Flat Base Video Head with Pan Handle and Long Sliding Plate is a high-quality, professional tool that offers durability, versatility, and precision for videographers. Its compatibility with various equipment and innovative features make it a standout choice for those seeking to elevate their video production to the next level.
