About OConnor 120EX

Take your film style shooting to the next level with the OConnor 120EX Standard Film Fluid Head, renowned for its unparalleled control and stability. This innovative piece of equipment leverages the power of Ex-technology, allowing it to offer the exceptional features OConnor is known for, along with the added advantage of extended capacity.

At the core of the Ex-technology is a revolutionary counterbalance mechanism. The 120EX can be switched into Ex-mode to unlock an entirely new dimension of counterbalance. This is made possible through the cutting-edge sinusoidal Ex-counterbalance technology, which ensures precise and accurate balance.

The Ex-drag technology is another standout feature, offering ultra-smooth, stepless control. The Ex fluid heads are designed with a specific payload range for the +/- 90-degree tilt range. Traditional counterbalance mechanisms struggle to balance any payload exceeding this maximum weight, but this is where the Ex range of fluid heads truly shines.

Ex fluid heads can comfortably handle payloads far beyond the maximum, gradually limiting the tilt range as the payload increases. The maximum payload is achieved at a tilt range of +/-60 degrees, significantly higher than the standard +/- 90-degree payload.

For instance, the 120EX has a payload for a +/- 90-degree tilt range between 30 and 120 lb (14 and 54 kg). However, when switched to Ex mode, the 120EX can counterbalance an impressive 240 lb (109 kg) at a tilt range of +/- 60 degrees, all based on an 8" center of gravity.

In essence, the OConnor 120EX Standard Film Fluid Head is a game-changer in the world of film style shooting, offering superior control, stability, and extended capacity.

OConnor 120EX Features

  • Counterbalance System: The fluid head features a counterbalance system that will keep the camera from falling forward or backward when it is tilted. With the correct counterbalance, the camera will stay where you put it, throughout the entire +/-90 degree tilt range
  • Infinitely Adjustable True Fluid Drag: Fluid drag allows you to pan and tilt smoothly, without shake or vibration. The high viscosity fluid acts as a buffer, adding an adjustable level of resistance to the camera movement
  • Unmatched Versatility: The fluid head employs a modular design concept that allows you to choose different mounting bases (150 mm, Mitchell, Sachtler/Vinten), quick release platforms (OConnor, 120 mm Euro, Panavision Dovetail and Arriflex Plates) and handles for added flexibility
  • EX-Technology: EX fluid heads can go far beyond that maximum payload by slowly limiting tilt range as the payload is increased
