The Delta tripod system, comprised of the Delta fluid head and the ENG tripod, is designed to support ENG dockable camcorders equipped with large lenses or employed with EFP cameras. The Delta fluid head, features the award winning, patented fluid damping system ensures consistent drag levels and smooth camera movements throughout the range and allows perfect reproduction of 10 basic tension settings continuously adjustable in both pan and tilt modes. In addition an infinitely variable counterbalance with easily readable numeric reference, provides excellent performances at any tilt angle from -70° to +90° degrees. Designed to accommodate offset payloads such as long lenses, small prompters and top-mounted viewfinders. The included ENG flip clamping aluminum or carbon fiber tripod, available in both single stage or two stage versions, provides for outstanding lightness and stability and makes the system light enough to "pick up and go" wherever you shoot. Delta Fluid Head Continuously Adjustable Counterbalance System Features an infinitely variable counterbalance with easily readable numeric reference, providing excellent performances (for cameras weighing from 18 to 37 lbs), at any tilt angle from -70° to +90° degrees. Outstanding compensation performances are obtained throughout the tilt range, with a patented and extremely compact counterbalance mechanism based on the combined compression of 4 elastic elements, which are controlled by an ergonomic knob. For additional convenience, two digital displays powered by a standard 9v battery is included to indicate the counterbalance and tilt drag values. Pan and Tilt Control The Delta offers a innovative fluid damping system ensuring consistent drag levels and smooth camera movements throughout the horizontal and vertical range and allows perfect reproduction of 10 basic tension settings continuously adjustable in both pan and tilt modes. 60mm sliding balance plate allows tilt angle to be increased up to +/-90 degrees Built-in illuminated spirit level allows easy set-up even in low light conditions. The Cartoni L601 tripod legs feature a 100mm bowl-base, 2 leg stages, 132 lb payload, and quick and secure flip-clamping system with safety locks. The feet feature threaded spikes that support optional adjustable rubber feet as well as dollies and ground spreaders. The H601 also includes a mid-level spreader and rubber feet. This model of the Delta is one of the later ones which includes a working electronic Tilt/Counter-balance display and a SafetyLock knob. (This is different from the standard Pan Brake/Lock which is also on this head. The SafetyLock, when engaged, allows you to step away from the tripod supporting a heavy load and not have to worry if you remembered to lock off the Tilt or if your counter-balance was correctly set.) The 1-stage tripod legs are aluminum alloy and extend without issue. The head is smooth in all directions. No issues with anything EXCEPT: 1) when the pan resistance is set to Zero, one can heard a VERY slight rub sound at only point in a whole 360-degree revolution. It's inconsequential to use of the head. (You can spin the head and it will travel 1.5 revolutions.) 2) Tilt Lock no longer functional. (A new Tilt Lock Lever was purchased as previous was required for the OTHER Cartoni Delta D100 I also have up for sale. During partial removal of the Brake Screw, the screw would not spin out. The replacement Brake Screw is $28 from IJES Canada. You could try drilling it out yourself or send to them to have done for $135.) Again, because this head has the Safety-Lock, there is still no danger of the head tilting forward on its own whilst unattended.
