Libec is proud to announce the HS Series, a brand new collection of fluid heads and tripod systems. While succeeding with the fundamental concept of the Libec RS Series, the HS Series has newly designed fluid heads with enhanced user-friendly features such as the built-in Perfect Balance System, which enables the camera to be precisely balanced at any tilt angle. In addition, the fluid heads are designed with an advanced drag mechanism with super smooth pan-tilt movements and improved backlash control, an easy-to-read counterbalance meter, an accessible Snap On/Off QR Plate, an Accessory Port, and more.
With this new HS Series, there are 4 fluid head models, each designed with a wide counterbalance range. Amazingly, the base model head is designed to achieve Perfect Balance with even the lightest mirrorless camera configurations out there.

LIBEC HS-250 Tripod Kit with Ground Spreader Payload 5KG

250
Advanced tripod system for handheld camcorders and small cinema cameras
Dual-head specifications are available for both 75mm ball diameter and flat base tripods.
Mountable on sliders, skater dollies, and other equipment.

PERFECT BALANCE
Libec's unique continuous perfect counterbalance system enables the camera to balance at any tilt angle perfectly. This smooth balance system makes it a lot easier for users to concentrate on precise camera movements, even when using a telephoto lens at its maximum zoom position.

Newly Designed Fluid Head
From scratch, the fluid head was designed to dramatically reduce play inside its superior pan and tilt drag units, dramatically increasing its longevity. From start to finish, this new fluid head provides ultra-smooth movements and is equipped with many features that enhance a user's experience.

Counterbalance Meter
Equipped with a counterbalance meter with a measurement range of 0 to 100. This allows users to glance at the head's minimum/maximum inner spring strength, making camera balances on-site a piece of cake.


SNAP-ON/OFF PLATE
The slide plate can be attached and released with just one touch. Quick and easy setups in the field are easily achieved.

Advanced Drag Unit
The layered metal unit in the drag system ensures operability, durability and reliability. Thanks to the finest silicon grease applied, the advanced drag unit offers smoother starts and ultimately improved backlash control. In addition, the grease provides ordinary pan and tilt movements at a wide temperature range from -40˚C/-40˚F up to +60˚C/+140˚F. The variable 4-step drag pan-tilt system features a zero "free" mode option with no friction. Unlike other brand heads, there is no need to store it in its zero "free" mode.

DUAL HEAD
The Dual-head base specification allows for a quick set-up with both 75mm bowl and flat base tripods. The Dual-head base is also compatible with sliders, skater dollies, and photo tripods.

User-Friendly Accessory Port
Equipped on the fluid head's side, there are 1/4 and 3/8 inch screw holes allowing users to attach an accessory arm to hold monitors, lights and other accessories. Since the holes are located on the base, the payload capacity, centre of gravity and front-rear balance of the head are not affected.

LED Bubble Level
The bubble level is equipped with an LED light allowing users to level a tripod head in the dark. In addition, the counterbalance meter is also illuminated.

Highly Compatible Slide Plate
The slide plate is compatible with Libec's TH-M, TH-X, TH-Z, and NX Series. This industry standard slide plate is also compatible with other brand tripod systems and accessories, allowing users to quickly swap between a wide range of camera supports.
