The video head Vanguard ALTA PH-123V made of magnesium alloys is a fluid video head that includes a spring-loaded counterbalance system and a system of precise adjustment from front to back, which provides maximum perfect balance and ensures the camera is set in the center of gravity. The balance switch activates the system, and the adjustable tension provides an extremely smooth panning and tilting experience and functions even with a long lens.
