01Lightest head

1.4 kg carrying up to 10 kg

At 1.4 kg the head is the lightest in the range and still takes 10 kg of payload. It needs no power, so nothing is added to the field load beyond its own weight.

  • N × 360° continuous pan, ±45° tilt
  • Resolution 0.084° with elevation scale
The PMD01 cradle open to the front

02Axis damping

Viscous damping for smooth manual tracking

Viscous damping on both axes turns a manual head into something that can follow a moving object without overshoot, and it settles the sensor during initial alignment.

  • Fine adjustment 1.13 to 2.5° per axis
  • Independent braking on both axes
