Compact magnesium-alloy pan/tilt head

The 3 Legged Thing AirHed Trinity is a precision-engineered camera head machined from aerospace-grade magnesium alloy in a matte black and copper finish. It provides a 360 panning base and a 170 tilt range spanning +90 to -80 degrees for fluid video, panoramic, and wildlife work. The 38 mm Arca-type compatible clamp secures the included quick-release plate.

11 lb payload capacity

This head supports equipment weighing up to 11 lb, making it the deciding specification for photographers and videographers matching the head to their camera and lens combination. The smooth fluid action maintains control throughout the full range of movement without sudden shifts. Payload capacity determines whether your rig stays stable during panning or tilting.

Detachable arm and integrated Toolz multitool

A removable panning arm allows the head to fit tighter packing configurations for travel, while knurled knobs on the panning and clamp locks enable gloved operation. The supplied Toolz multitool incorporates Allen keys, a coin turn, and a bottle opener for on-the-go adjustments. A reusable hook-and-loop cable tie keeps cords organised during shoots.

Questions about this item

How does the 11 lb payload translate when I mount a camera and lens on this head?

The head supports up to 11 lb of combined camera and lens weight, so typical mirrorless or DSLR kits with standard zooms stay well within the limit.

What does the 38 mm Arca-type clamp mean for plate compatibility in practice?

The 38 mm clamp accepts standard Arca-Swiss plates, letting you slide the included quick-release plate or any compatible third-party plate straight in without adapters.

What clearance do I need for the 170 tilt range and detachable panning arm when packing the head?

The head tilts +90/-80 degrees and the arm removes, so it folds into a compact profile that fits in most travel bags or camera cases.
