Libec RH-45 Tripod Head

The Libec RH-45 is a tripod head with a PH-4B pan handle. The RH-45 is part of the new RS Series RS-450 and RS-450M tripod packages. Features include a new drag system (free plus 3 steps), low temperature rating (-40 degrees C), LED level illumination and outstanding rigidity. The RH-45 tripod head offers a counter balance range of 4.5 to 10.5kg with maximum payload of 12kg.

The RH-45 has a 75 ball diameter. The Libec AD75 Adaptor Ring (sold separately) allows the RH-45 tripod head to be mounted on 100mm ball diameter tripods.

Note:
The Libec RH-45 tripod head is equivalent to the Manfrotto 519, Miller COMPASS 20, Vinten Vision 5AS and the Sachtler FSB 8.

Ideal counterbalance
Complete counterbalance makes it possible to stop the camera precisely at any tilt angle within the range of 4 to 10kg weight on board (height of centre of gravity at 100mm)

New drag system
The new drag system makes a quantum leap in operability when panning or tilting.  There is also a significant reduction in wobbling of the image that occurs at the start of the pan as well as backlash at the end of the pan.

Low temperature characteristics
The RS Series tripods enable operation in severely cold areas with a low temperature rating of -40 degrees C. Torque performance is maintained in the most extreme climates.

More features for premium functionality
Drag mode: Free plus 3 steps. Select torque strength based on your shooting preferences.

LED level illumination: Ideal for night time shoots.
