OConnor 120EX head & Cine Mitchell tripod with floor spreader

Industry-Standard Support for Heavy Cinema Payloads

The OConnor 120EX head represents the pinnacle of fluid head engineering, designed specifically for the demands of high-end cinematography. Featuring the signature OConnor feel, this head offers infinitely adjustable control and a patented counterbalance system. It is the only product capable of balancing a massive weight range from 30 to 240 lbs (14 to 109 kg), making it the versatile choice for everything from stripped-back builds to fully rigged studio cameras.

Revolutionary EX-Technology and EX-Mode

At the core of the 120EX is OConnor's proprietary EX-technology. This system utilizes a patented stepless counterbalance mechanism that allows the head to enter EX-mode. While the head provides a full +/- 90 degree tilt range for payloads up to 120 lbs (54 kg), EX-mode extends this capacity. By gradually limiting the tilt range to +/- 60 degrees, the 120EX can support an incredible 240 lbs (109 kg) based on an 8-inch center of gravity.

Cine HD Mitchell Tripod and Floor Spreader

This system includes the Cine HD Mitchell tripod, the industry's preferred choice for supporting heavy payloads with absolute stability. Built to withstand the rigors of professional film sets, the tripod works in tandem with the included floor spreader to provide a secure, slip-free foundation on any flat surface. Whether you are using large zoom lenses or complex 3D rigs, this combination ensures your shots remain steady and your equipment stays safe.

Enhanced Ergonomics for Professionals

The 120EX is designed for the operator. It features a collapsible counterbalance crank knob and a digital readout for fast, repeatable setups. The sideload platform mechanism allows for precise fore and aft adjustments, while the pan and tilt fluid drag is specifically tuned for heavy loads. All primary controls are located on the left-hand side, adhering to traditional cine-style shooting workflows.
