Create smooth pan and tilt moves using heavy camera rigs with this Orion Geared Head from Proaim. The Orion head features manual pan and tilt crank gears that are weighted within the head, and they can be controlled by a switch to uncrank in fast or slow modes. Simply crank up your pan and tilt gears to match your shot, and let the counterweight and speed setting move your rig in one smooth, even movement.
The durable head supports loads up to 55 lb and is made from aluminum and features brass gears with pan and tilt locks. It can pan 360° and tilt 35° in either direction, and the slow and fast mode switches allow the gears to move faster or slower when the cranks are released. The camera plate features both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera mounting screw options. There are two choices of base that include a flat Mitchell base or a 100mm half ball, which can be swapped using the included tools.
