• Stepless Drag Control (Pan and Tilt)
  
  You can precisely adjust how smoothly the head moves, allowing for better control of camera motion. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
• Side-Loading Quick-Release Plate
  
  Makes it easier to mount and balance heavy cameras, with a 30 mm back-and-forth adjustment range after mounting. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
• Wide Tilt Range
  
  Allows tilting from –70° up to +90°, so you can shoot very low or very high angles comfortably. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
• Continuous 360° Pan
  
  Enables full rotation for panning shots, smooth tracking, or panoramic footage. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
• Hydraulic Damping
  
  Designed with a “fully NF-blocking” hydraulic damping system, which helps it work smoothly even in very cold (-40 °C) or hot (up to +60 °C) conditions. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
• Dual Handles
  
  Includes two adjustable handles (angle and length), giving better ergonomics and control. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
