Flighthead 5 (upgrade)


The Flight Head V’s unique 3 axis gyro-stabilized design eliminates all bumps & vibrations resulting in an extremely smooth and stable picture (10 – 500mm film lenses). The Flight Head V (FHV) provides complete control of the camera and lens functions. The FHV is operated via joystick or hand wheels. Besides its specific role with the Russian Arm the Flight Head V is the perfect head for: Techno Cranes, Shock Absorber, Camera Cars, Chase Cars, Boats, Remote Dollies etc.

The Flight Head handles cameras up to 40 kg. It has been used in Norway under extreme weather conditions both on the North Cape and on the rough coastline of West Norway – both on shore and offshore on small fishing boats, vessels and in flight. We even mounted it on a snow scooter! Steady as a rock.

We have experienced technicians with great knowledge from ”on set” problem solving during both snow, rain and windy conditions.
