The Ultimate 1030D and 1030Ds fluid heads offer a wealth of features that have been borrowed from the larger OConnor 2575 and 2065 heads to let cinematographers seamlessly transition from heavier to lighter payload camera setups. These include the step-less, ultra-smooth pan and tilt fluid drag specifically enhanced to provide ultimate control and stability, as well as the patented O'Connor Sinusoidal Counterbalance system that provides true, accurate balance at any point in the tilt range. Users will appreciate that the system counterbalances down to zero, a handy advantage considering the trend to lighter weight cameras. The new ergonomic crank-style counterbalance control simply pulls out of the rear of the head.
