Sachtler Cine 30 – Rotule vidéo

The 150mm bowl locks in rock-solid with zero drift, and my 28kg rig sits perfectly balanced even at steep tilts. I've been through six heads in ten years, and this is the first one where I never think about the load, just the shot.

The counterbalance system is a lifesaver when I'm swapping heavy lenses on set, keeping everything stable and smooth. It's much easier to adjust than my old fluid head, and the drag control gives me exactly the feel I need for slow pans. For the price, this thing handles my rig like a dream.

The 150mm bowl handled my cinema camera with absolute stability, even during rapid pans. It’s hefty at 6.7kg but that weight gives you total confidence with a 30kg payload.
