About the Product 7
2 About the Product
2.1 Introduction
What is the DEH-2?
In Broadcast and Studio configuration the new fluid head with digital encoders DEH-2 covers the needs
of sophisticated video shooters.
The DEH-2 can hold camera systems from 3 kg (7 lbs) to 30 kg (66 lbs) and up to 40 kg (88 lbs.), if
their center of gravity is not higher than 100 mm.
An exceptional new fluid module in both pan and tilt ensures smooth movements, with perfect starts
and stops. The drag system allows a wide variety from almost freewheeling in fast action movements to
maximum resistance for perfect long focal shoots.
Counterbalance performs perfect balance at any angle from 0 to +/- 90 degrees. All operating knobs
and levers are conveniently located and easy to reach with a special care for ergonomics.
The fluid head comes equipped with a telescopic pan bar, illuminated spirit level and digital readouts for
drag control and counterbalance settings.
With the classic Mitchell base the DEH-2 interfaces with all flat base Mitchell tripods and platforms.
Optional 150mm bowl base can be easily applied.
What does the DEH-2 do?
The resolution of the digital encoded fluid head DEH-2 for VR and AR applications is 4.2 Million counts /
revolution for both pan and tilt. Both encoders are absolute encoders.
How does the DEH-2 work?
All ARRI encoded fluid heads are designed to be used with an ARRI system. The daisy-chain LBUS
system makes integration very easy.
2.2 Intended use
ATTENTION
This product is an accessory for a camera stabilizer system. It is a repositionable support for camera
systems and a high resolution encoder for professional VR and AR production environments.
Only use the product as described in the operating manual and user manual. Any other use is

changes that are caused by improper use.
