Maximum Payload Optimisation
The V25 is designed to handle very heavy camera systems. Optimise your rig build-out without concern for weight, focusing instead on balance and operational ergonomics.
Critical Balance Adjustment
With heavy loads, even slight imbalances can impact shot quality. Take extra time to achieve perfect counterbalance, especially when changing lenses or accessories, to make the camera feel weightless.
Operating in Extreme Conditions
The V25 is built to withstand harsh conditions. Its robust mechanics ensure reliable performance in varying temperatures and environments, maintaining consistent fluid drag.
Two-Person Operation
For extremely heavy rigs or complex movements, consider a two-person operation – one managing the pan/tilt, and another handling focus or other camera controls, to maximise efficiency and precision.
Track Compatibility
While standalone, the V25 often pairs excellently with a dolly on tracks for incredibly smooth, large-scale movements, where its stability is fully leveraged.
