Introduction ARRIHEAD II

The ARRIHEAD II can be used with all tripods and

camera dollies or camera support systems that em-

ploy a Mitchell flat base. All ARRIHEAD II control

features are arranged to provide simple operation.

Precision chain drives and worm gears ensure slack-

free operation. The precision guides guarantee

smooth tilting and panning.

The laterally adjustable tilt drive pivots out horizon-

tally up to 38°counter-clockwise, and can be fixed

at any intermediate position. As a result, the full tilt

range of the ARRIHEAD II is maintained when film-

ing with an ARRIFLEX 535 camera equipped with

a 1000 ft (300 m) magazine. The tilt plate enables

filming with extreme upward and downward tilt

positions.
