OConnor 120EX Tripod System

About the OConnor 120EX Tripod System

The 120EX Fluid Head & Cine HD Mitchell Top Tripod with Ground Spreader from OConnor includes the 120EX fluid head with a payload capacity of 120 lb for the ±90° tilt range. It offers a maximum payload of 240 lb at 8" center of gravity with a ± 60° tilt range. The aluminum Cine HD tripod on its own can support payloads up to 309 lb and offers height adjustment from 33.6 to 69.2". The ground-level spreader enhances the stability of the tripod with heavy loads, providing protection for delicate floor surfaces.

OConnor's fluid heads are famous for ultimate control and stability for film style shooting. With the use of EX-technology OConnor can offer the features it has become famous for while offering an additional benefit: extended capacity. With a patented stepless counterbalance mechanism at the heart of EX-technology, the 120EX can be boosted into EX-mode to achieve a whole new realm of support.

Getting more than 100%! This is the best way to describe the EX-Mode.

The 120EX head has a given payload capacity of 120 lbs (54 kg) for the ±90° tilt range. With traditional counterbalance mechanisms any payload heavier than this maximum weight cannotbe balanced.

EX fluid heads can go far beyond their maximum payload by slowly limiting tilt range as the payload is increased. The maximum payload is reached at a tilt range of ±60°, which for the 120EX is an incredible 240 lbs (109 kg) based on a 8" center of gravity

The CINE HD tripod is the perfect choice for heavy payloads that must be supported in a safe and reliable manner.

• C12250001 120EX Standard Film Fluid Head (Black)

  The OConnor 120EX Standard Assembly C12250001 is the flagship of fluid head design. With a payload capacity of 120 lbs it is the right choice for larger format film and video cameras. This device features 90 to 90 degree tilt with a folding crank handle with numerical readout for repeatable counterbalance adjustments. This head features the EX Mode which allows extended weight capacity.

  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° 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 (150mm, Mitchell, Sachtler/Vinten), quick release platforms (Oconnor, 120mm 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. With the example of the 120EX, the payload for a 90° tilt range is between 30-120 lbs (14-54 kg), but in EX mode the 120EX can counterbalance up to incredible 240 lbs (109 kg) at a tilt range of 60°; all based on a 8" center of gravity.

• C12210001 Cine HD Aluminum Alloy Tripod

  It is not uncommon to encounter a barrage of exotic materials when perusing high-end support systems, but you'll find no such thing when you investigate the OConnor C12210001 Cine HD Tripod. Based on time-proven aluminum alloy metallurgy, there will be no surprises, and it requires no special accommodations. The single-stage design and die-cast spider ensure maximum rigidity for head and camera loads up to 309 lbs (140 kg), and the rotary stage clamps provide tool-free temperature-independent leg fixing. Concentrate on pressing production issues and forget about reinventing the wheel- your camera is safely suspended above the fray, and protected by the unbeatable OConnor 5-year parts and labor warranty.
