Overview
The Magnus VH-1190 video head turns any photo tripod into a platform with features that will benefit videographers of any level. It’s constructed with sturdy, high-grade aluminum that makes it perfect for withstanding frequent use by on-the-go image makers. The head features fluid-type movement that will allow you to keep a constant camera speed for rapid or slow pans and tilts. It also features a spring-loaded counterbalance system for smooth tilt shots as well as camera security. Locking knobs ensure dependable camera stability when mounted on a tripod. For rapid camera angle changes, the quick-release assembly features a 90° vertical tilt for instantly changing from landscape to portrait camera orientation. An angle-adjustable and telescoping pan arm provides ergonomic control for DSLR or camcorders. Dual integrated bubble levels make aligning your camera with the horizon fast and easy.
Features
Fluid-Type Pan and Tilt Motion
For smooth and even pans and tilts, the VH-1190 features fluid-type motion. The VH-1190 will let you follow the action with smooth movement no matter how fast you’re moving the camera.
Spring-Loaded Counterbalance
The spring-loaded counterbalance produces tension that works against your camera’s tilt. This feature allows for smooth tilts with cameras up to 11 pounds. It also provides extra security for your camera by preventing it from tipping over.
90° Vertical Tilt
The quick-release clamp features a built-in hinge that unlocks and swings up to a 90-degree angle so you can switch from landscape to portrait orientation in the blink of an eye. The tilt lock will hold the clamp steady when you want to experiment with creative camera angles.
Sliding Quick-Release Plate
For effortless camera mounting and dismounting, attach the quick-release plate and other VT-QRP50 plates (available separately) to all your cameras so you can quickly switch from shooting video to still photography in seconds.
Camera Balance
The sliding plate lets you find the perfect balancing point for your camera. Mark the point on the scale that’s etched into the plate’s side and instantly find the balance point when you remount your camera.
Telescoping Pan Arm
If you prefer silky-smooth pan and tilt moves over shaky handheld operation, the pan arm lets you precisely control your camera’s movements. The arm extends from 9.1 to 14.2 inches to achieve the perfect length for your setup; shorter length for a DSLR camera and longer length for larger camcorders.
Auxiliary Sockets
The 1/4-20 auxiliary sockets are built into opposite sides of the head so you can add accessories like an articulating arm, LED, flash, or microphone to your setup. They’re also good for safekeeping the 1/4-20 mounting screw when it isn’t in use.
Bubble Levels
Two bubble levels are built into the head, so whether you’re shooting in landscape or portrait orientation, you can rapidly align your camera with the horizon without adjusting your tripod legs.
