Overview
The E-Image MOTUS 72 Heavy-Duty Mitchell Fluid Head Tripod System combines the MH72 fluid head with the FILM-Mitchell L aluminum tripod to support large cinema cameras, studio configurations, and long-lens broadcast setups weighing up to 72 kg. Designed for demanding production environments, the system features a Mitchell base interface, continuous stepless counterbalance, independent pan and tilt drag adjustment, and a reinforced one-stage aluminum tripod platform engineered for maximum rigidity and stability.
The MH72 fluid head incorporates a continuous variable counterbalance system with 0 to 100% readout for precise payload balancing across varying camera builds. Independent 12-step pan and tilt drag controls provide smooth movement and repeatable operation, while the one-press sliding plate assembly and double-locking quick release system allow fast camera mounting and secure positioning. The FILM-Mitchell L tripod uses a die-cast aluminum structure rated for payloads up to 188 kg and includes an adjustable metal ground spreader, dual telescopic pan handles, illuminated bubble level, hard tripod case, and protective safety case for professional studio and cinema production workflows.
