Video heads
Specifically designed for the latest DV camcorders used by documentary and industrial videographers the 516
head is very compact and light but can support cameras up to 22 lb. The 516 is a cost-effective high-
performance head equipped with fluid cartridges that provide continuous adjustable drag control. This system
gives a wide range of friction control down to “zero drag” and operates on both pan and tilt axis. Other important
features of the head are: separate tilt and pan locking mechanism; a fixed counter balance spring of 16.5 lb load
capacity at a center of gravity of 125mm; two telescopic pan handles; and a bubble level. The head has been
designed so it can be mounted on a flat base tripod with a 3/8” female thread attachment or by attaching the
ART 3141BALL to the head base, allowing it to fit a 100mm bowl.
