Exhibition of new large tripods in the RS Plus series: Significant improvements to operability by the introduction of a stepless counter balance and stabilizer

HEIWA SEIKI KOGYO exhibited the ""RSP-850"" and ""RSP-750c"" which are new products in their RS Plus series. The RS Plus series is unchanged from the traditional RS series but is a bigger and greater version equipped with pan and tilt that does not vary from minus 40 degrees to plus 60 degrees with the head and a step-less counter balance system which does not stop at any angle.

These are products supplied as studio spec cameras and tripods for digital cinemas. It is possible to attach and remove with one touch of the lock release from the side. The pan and tilt torque step can be completely set with the left hand. There has been a move to seven steps from the traditional three steps.

The counter balance knob adjusts the spring that supports the camera. However, although traditionally the strength of the spring gradually increased with it becoming more difficult to turn, users can turn to the very end with the same strength by the introduction of a balance stabilizer.

It is possible to stabilize images by the introduction of the stabilizer. The stabilizer eliminates the spring back motion that occurred in the RS. It is possible to stop the device in the same way even if the front and back balance shifts about 1cm because of the stabilizer.

The 850 allows angle shots to be taken from a high position because it can be extended up to a sturdy 191cm. The 750 is made of carbon so it is easy to carry. The 750 can be carried with a grip. The warranty period of the RS Plus has been extended to three years from the traditional one year of the RS series.
