The Vanguard ALTA PH-123V magnesium alloy video head is a fluid video head that includes a spring-loaded counterbalance system and a fine-tuning front to back adjustment system, which provides the ultimate in optimal balance and makes sure your camera is set in the center of gravity.

The counterbalance switch engages the system, and the adjustable drag tension provides an incredibly smooth pan and tilt experience and functions even with a long lens. The ALTA PH-123V guarantees fluid tilting movements between 60° and -90° and provides a full-range smooth 360° swivel.

The flat base mount allows you to connect a variety of support systems; from sliders to tripods and monopods among others.
Its long ergonomic and anti-slip handle offers precise movements, the leverage you need and better control over heavy cameras. The handle is ambidextrous and can be set in both left and right handed positions.

The large quick-shoe safety release button allows quick and secure removal of the camera. The head is delivered with the QS-67 fitted with 1/4"-20, 3/8"-16 attachment interface and a video pin. The QS is 90mm in length.

For use with other add-ons thanks to Alta Link 3/8” connectors, the ALTA PH-123V is also fitted with a bright bullseye bubble level for perfect leveling position.
The Vanguard ALTA PH-123V is great for photographers and videographers who are meticulous and demand stable shots and motion control while creating content.
