High-Intensity Support for Premium ENG Broadcasts

The S120A2 Aluminum Tripod System is a professional-grade camera platform engineered to deliver robust stability and precision for full-scale Electronic News Gathering (ENG) and field production workloads. Designed to handle large-scale shoulder-mount camcorders such as the Panasonic AJ-PX5000 and Sony PDW-850, this heavy-duty system eliminates micro-shake risks entirely. By pairing full CNC machine processing with tough 304 stainless steel load-bearing components, it creates an ultra-rigid shooting foundation that media professionals can rely on during live breaking news.

Advanced Fluid Architecture and Fluid Transitions

At the center of this industrial configuration is the S120H fluid head, introducing a fluid damping design with an $8+8+10$ adjustable level structure. Camera operators can quickly alternate through 8 discrete grades of horizontal drag and 8 steps of vertical drag to manage smooth panning transitions. Supported by a 10-step indexed counterbalance dial that perfectly neutralizes the center of gravity for equipment configurations between 3kg and 15kg, executing seamless tracking maneuvers over a standard $+90^\circ$ to $-75^\circ$ tilt range becomes completely effortless.

Rugged Reliability for Challenging On-Location Assignments

Designed to withstand continuous travel and fast-paced field reporting, the AT162 2-stage aluminum tripod brings high stability without sacrificing ease of use. The 3-section leg configuration features integrated metal feet and is stabilized by a mid-level or ground spreader system for concrete-stable ground anchoring. Capable of performing flawlessly in extreme outdoor environmental temperatures ranging from a freezing $-40^\circ\text{C}$ to a scorching $+60^\circ\text{C}$, this production-ready kit arrives with a PL100 quick-release plate, a PB100 single telescopic pan bar, dual standard thread mounting screws, and a custom CO100 padded transport bag.
