1. IntroductIon
The new MAXIMA 5.0 is the ulmate answer for Digital Cinematogra-
phy with heavy duty packages. Its outstanding patented counterbalance
compensates payloads from zero to 50 kg, with “perfect balance” through-
out the 180° lt range. The patented connuous uid drag system per-
forms from almost freewheeling to extremely consistent drag for maximum
versality and perfect diagonal shots.
The MAXIMA 5.0 knobs and levers are ergonomically placed to ensure
camera operators complete ease-of-use in any situaon, whether in the
studio, locaon or during outside shoong. Drag and counterbalance set-
ngs are monitored on a large digital display.
The large sliding camera plate is compable with Arri, Sony and O’Con-
nor slides. The head comes with a telescopic pan bar and a short front pan
bar. With the classic Mitchell base the MAXIMA 5.0 interfaces with all at
base Mitchel tripods and plaorms.
Oponal 150mm bowl base can be easily applied.
