Manfrotto Nitrotech 612 Fluid Video Head Tripod System

The Nitrotech 612 fluid video head runs a continuous counterbalance system rather than fixed steps, so it holds anything from 4 to 12 kg at 55mm center of gravity with the drag matched exactly to the load instead of picking the nearest preset. The variable continuous fluid drag delivers the same smooth, judder-free pan and tilt at any setting.

Each kit pairs the 612 head with a tripod: single or twin leg, carbon fiber or aluminum, ground or middle spreader depending on the variant. The head's flat base mounts to any of them with a standard 3/8 in thread, and a 3/8 in Easy Link with anti-rotation pins takes a Manfrotto arm or an ARRI-pin accessory. A padded carrying bag ships with every kit.
