The fluid head's incremental counterbalance system and vertical tilt range of +90° to -75° provide further flexibility for capturing shots from various angles and positions. The head mounts securely onto a 150mm bowl, providing a stable foundation for a variety of tripods and pedestals, including the Vario 2-80 pedestal.

The Vario 2-80 pedestal offers smooth height adjustments ranging from 25.98 inches to 56.3 inches, ensuring that camera operators can work efficiently while maintaining a comfortable eyeline. The pedestal features a built-in air inlet valve and can be charged with the included manual pump or an external compressed air tank, making it highly adaptable for both powered and remote locations. This pedestal includes a steering ring for easy maneuverability, allowing for both standard and crab steering modes to enable smooth tracking and dolly moves. The Vario 2-80 pedestal's 30.3" on-shot stroke ensures seamless in-shot height changes during dynamic shoots. With a payload capacity of up to 176.37 lbs, it offers maximum stability and is ideal for large, heavy camera rigs, including those used for live events and studio work.

For ease of movement, the pedestal is equipped with a dolly system that features 4.92-inch wheels, providing smooth and controlled movement over various surfaces. The dolly includes cable guards to prevent accidents while rolling over cables, ensuring the safety of equipment during operation. The pedestal's compact design allows it to fit through tight spaces and doorways, making it perfect for shoots in restricted environments.
