SIRUI VHS18 Fluid Head Overview

The SIRUI VHS18 Professional Video Fluid Head with 100mm Half Ball is engineered for professional videography, offering precise control and reliability for demanding shoots. Its advanced features—such as fluid friction, 10-step counterbalance, and 7+0 damping adjustment—make it an excellent choice for both lightweight and heavy camera setups in challenging environments.

10-Step Counterbalance

The VHS18’s 10-step counterbalance system ensures smooth, stable shots by accommodating a wide range of camera weights. With a load capacity of 1.5–18kg, you can easily balance your equipment and position the camera exactly where you need it, without worrying about unwanted drift.

7+0 Steps Damping Adjustment

For precise panning and tilting, the 7+0 damping adjustment allows for smooth and responsive movements. This feature is especially useful when adding or removing accessories, ensuring that the camera stays balanced for flawless operation, regardless of weight changes.

Side Loading Plate

The side-loading design of the VHS18 head allows for fast, effortless camera mounting. Whether you’re using lightweight or heavy gear, simply insert your camera from the side. The 30mm of forward and backward adjustment gives you added flexibility, making it ideal for telephoto lens setups and fine-tuning your shot.

Secure and Quick Camera Attachment

For safety and efficiency, the VHS18 includes a locking block, safety pin, rubber pad, and locking flip mechanism, all designed to securely hold your equipment in place and prevent accidental detachment.

Standard 100mm Half-Bowl

The 100mm half-bowl design offers quick and precise leveling, providing a stable platform for your tripod setup.

Quick-Release Handle

Unlike standard half-bowl handles, which can become loose or inefficient over time, the SIRUI quick-release handle is designed for durability and speed. A simple 2-turn rotation, followed by pressing the knob, allows you to detach the handle in seconds, saving valuable time on set.

Included 75mm Bowl Adapter Ring

For added versatility, the VHS18 comes with a 75mm bowl adapter ring, allowing compatibility with tripods that use a 75mm bowl for optimal stability and performance.
