The OZEN 25M E-Z LOAD MAX Fluid Head from OZEN is a heavy-duty fluid head featuring a wider camera interface for steady support of camera rigs weighing up to 80 lb. This 150mm ball head can be converted to a flat base for a lower-profile, slider, or car rig application. This head's familiar placement of pan, tilt, and counterbalance controls offer ergonomic control, and the 150mm ball base enables fast leveling.

This fluid head features nine steps of pan and tilt drag plus a "0" setting for quick whip pans, 16 steps of counterbalance adjustment, and a built-in illuminated bubble level. Replaceable pan handle rosettes on the left and right side of the head enable you to use both included telescoping handles simultaneously.

The 150mm leveling ball makes it quick to level the head on your tripod legs or other platforms, and the convertible flat base provides a lower-profile base for a car rig, scaffolding, or another compatible support.

A 16-step counterbalance enables you to adjust the head for a variety of camera rigs weighing from 8.8 to 80 lb. A counterbalance system neutralizes the weight of the fluid head so it holds the desired tilt position.

Nine steps and a zero setting enable you to adjust the head for smooth moves, fast or slow. The dampening settings allow you to adjust your setting from shot to shot, while the stepped settings make your drag selections repeatable.

The E-Z LOAD MAX QR plate supports heavier camera rigs, pops in and out of the camera platform, and does not have any sliding balance adjustment. However, the camera platform the plate pops into has 2.36" of back and forth adjustment to aid in balancing your camera on the head. The use of an optional baseplate or VCT system for increased balancing ability is customary with larger cameras.

Removable rosettes on each side of the fluid head allow you to attach the included pan handles for two-handed control. If damaged or stripped, the rosettes can be removed and replaced with new ones.

Q: 1. Do you think this tripod would be able to handle a Canon C100 Mk ii? With battery and lens the camera is 5lbs already. This tripod stats the weight max is 8lbs.

A: With an 8.8 pound load capacity this tripod is not going to give you much room to grow with a C100 Mark II. You can keep the load light with that camera, but once you start to add a heavier cinema lens or different rigging tools it will not be suitable. The Sachtler System Ace XL supports up to 17.6 pounds, it would be a better choice. https://bhpho.to/2RPT7Cy
