Black Widow Lightweight mk II
|
There is nothing 'Lightweight' about the performance, it is SOLID and ROBUST and SMOOTH. The main elements are the same as the BWG-HD2 minus the horizontal arm.
Taking the best elements from our original BWG-HD and adding several refinements from our customer requests, we have been able to:
-
Seriously shed some weight! New BWG-LW2 is only 1lbs 13oz. More than 1/2lb lighter than before!
-
Seriously stiffer! We have shortened the main body to seriously improve flexural rigidity.
-
Seriously SMOOTH! We have implemented a ball bearing system similar to our BWG-Pro to offer unparalleled smoothness in the tilt axis. Even with a large load of camera and lens, there is virtually zero friction.
-
This new head also uses new rubberized knobs, which are comfortable and easy on the hands.
-
Powdercoat finish on the main body and black anodizing on all the aluminum parts makes for long term weatherability and durability.
Recommendations:
-
Suitable for lenses and cameras weighing up to 12lbs.
-
A stiff tripod recommended for up to 25lbs of load. 3/8"-16 mounting stud required.
-
A Jobu Design lensplate (or other compatible Arca-Swiss style plate) for your lens.
-
A lens with a rotating tripod collar. (Short lenses, or wide angles require the W.A.A. wide angle adapter, see Special Mounts)
