Libec QD-30PD Overview
The Libec QD-30PD Pedestal System with QH3 Head and P1000 Pedestal provides a system that supports up to 132 pounds of camera, fluid head, and accessories, suitable for use in studio environments. The QH3 head features a flat base and includes a 150mm half ball adapter. It uses a Snap On caqmera plate that allows you to pop the camera plate into the head from the top and slide the plate forward/back to balance your camera on the head. The included GH3 is a pedestal-capable heavy-duty head supporting up to 152 lb. It features 7-step pan and tilt drag with independent pan and tilt locks, as well as continuous counter balance.
The P1000 pedestal features a pneumatic column with a 150mm flat base and rolling dolly wheels. The dolly wheels feature a tracking locking mechanism to keep the dolly moving in a straight line. The removable cable guards prevent the pedestal from rolling over cables as you move the pedestal around the studio. The pedestal itself supports up to 132 pounds, which means it can easily handle the QH3 head and a camera system weighing up to 100 pounds.

Libec P1000 150mm Flat Base Pedestal System
The Libec P1000 150mm Flat Base Pedestal System is a 2-stage pneumatic column pedestal system that supports up to 132 pounds (including fluid head) and features 31.9" of height adjustment, a steering ring, 150mm flat base for mounting either a Libec QH1 or QH3 fluid head, and a rolling dolly with removable cable guards.
The P1000 is equipped with a tracking locking mechanism that ensures straight-line movement by locking the caster direction as you move from position to position.The cable guards ride low over the wheels to prevent you from accidently rolling over cables when shifting positions on the studio floor. The cable guards can be raised up when needed to allow the dolly to roll over uneven surfaces. An included manual air pump allows you to charge the center column for proper operation, while an optional kick ring helps provide you a place to use your feet to help start smooth rolling movement of the pedestal.
- The P1000 Pedestal can support 132 pounds of equipment, including video head, camera, and accessories
- Adjust the air pressure in the upper column to match the weight of the attached equipment; Libec refers to this as balancing the upper column, and it allows for easy height adjustment
- The pedestal features a Schrader valve (American valve) and can be pressurized using the included manual air pump or by external devices such as a compressor
- Generally, with 0.25MPa (2.5 bar / 36.3 psi) of air pressure, the pedestal can balance 22 pounds of weight
- The included adjustment weights allow you to fine-tune the balance on the upper column
