The OConnor Ultimate 1040/30L-M Kit is the ideal solution for professional filmmakers seeking a combination of precision, stability, and portability. Designed for a wide range of camera setups, this comprehensive kit includes the OConnor Ultimate 1040 Fluid Head, the lightweight 30L Carbon Fiber Tripod, and a Mid-Level Spreader, all stored in a soft carrying case for easy transport. With a maximum payload of 45 lbs, this tripod system is perfect for digital cine-style cameras or smaller ENG camera rigs, offering ultra-smooth camera movements and the reliability of OConnor's engineering.

The OConnor Ultimate 1040 Fluid Head is a versatile, lightweight fluid head built to handle a wide range of cameras and accessories. It features a continuous, stepless counterbalance system, making it suitable for both heavy and lightweight setups. The head supports up to 45 lbs of gear, with adjustable drag controls for precise pan and tilt movements. The large Euro-style quick release plate allows for quick mounting and removal of the camera, eliminating the need to slide the camera in from the back. The 1040 head also offers a tilt range of +90° to -90°, providing flexibility for creative shots, and the 100mm ball base ensures quick attachment to compatible tripods. The pan handle can be mounted on either side of the head, ensuring flexibility for the operator.

The OConnor 30L Carbon Fiber Tripod is built to deliver exceptional stability while remaining lightweight and portable. With a payload capacity of up to 209 lbs, it is designed to support heavy-duty fluid heads and camera rigs. The tripod features a 100mm bowl and extends from a minimum height of 22 inches to a maximum height of 61.8 inches, providing flexibility for various shooting conditions. The tripod's legs adjust independently, which is especially useful when working on uneven terrain. The included Mid-Level Spreader ensures additional stability by preventing leg splay during dynamic camera movements. Dual spiked feet further enhance stability, making the tripod suitable for both indoor and outdoor shooting environments.

The Mid-Level Spreader adds an additional layer of support and stability to the tripod system, helping to maintain consistent leg position and minimizing unwanted movement. This spreader is designed for use on uneven ground and can be easily adjusted to accommodate changes in height and leg spread. It provides secure footing for the tripod while also preventing the legs from splaying outward during use.

For added convenience, the kit comes with a soft carrying bag designed to protect and store the tripod system. The bag is equipped with a padded interior and dual carry handles for easy transportation. It also features a zipper closure for quick access to your equipment, ensuring that your system remains secure and ready for transport. The soft bag is lightweight and durable, making it perfect for on-the-go professionals.
