This member of OConnor's Extended Range offerings is the Extended Capacity 120EX Fluid Head (Part No. C1225-001) which supports extra-large payloads, with this package also including both a pan handle and pan handle extension to further capitalize on this fluid heads functionality. With the smooth OConnor feel and infinitely adjustable control, this patented head is the only product on the market to balance the huge capacity range of 30 – 240 lbs (14 – 109 kg).

OConnor’s fluid heads are famous for ultimate control and stability for film style shooting. With the use of EX-technology OConnor can offer the features it has become famous for while offering an additional benefit: extended capacity. With a patented stepless counterbalance mechanism at the heart of EX-technology, the 120EX can be boosted into EX-mode to achieve a whole new realm of support.

The 120EX head has a given payload capacity of 120 lbs (54 kg) for the ±90° tilt range. With traditional counterbalance mechanisms any payload heavier than this maximum weight can’t be balanced. Not with the 120EX. EX fluid heads can go far beyond their maximum payload by slowly limiting tilt range as the payload is increased. The maximum payload is reached at a tilt range of ±60°, which for the 120EX is an incredible 240 lbs (109 kg) based on a 8” center of gravity.
