Introduction ARRIHEAD II
The ARRIHEAD II can be used with all tripods and
camera dollies or camera support systems that em-
ploy a Mitchell flat base. All ARRIHEAD II control
features are arranged to provide simple operation.
Precision chain drives and worm gears ensure slack-
free operation. The precision guides guarantee
smooth tilting and panning.
The laterally adjustable tilt drive pivots out horizon-
tally up to 38°counter-clockwise, and can be fixed
at any intermediate position. As a result, the full tilt
range of the ARRIHEAD II is maintained when film-
ing with an ARRIFLEX 535 camera equipped with
a 1000 ft (300 m) magazine. The tilt plate enables
filming with extreme upward and downward tilt
positions.
