Teris TS-H12 Fluid Head
Product Overview
The Teris TS-H12 Fluid Head is a professional 100mm flat-base fluid head designed for broadcast ENG, documentary, and cinema production. With a 12 kg (26.4 lb) payload capacity, the TS-H12 handles compact broadcast cameras, mirrorless cinema bodies with cage and accessories, and ENG-style rigs. The 100mm bowl interface provides fast field leveling and broad compatibility with professional tripod leg sets from Teris and other manufacturers. The TS-H12 is the standalone fluid head component of the TS-H12CF-Q system and is suited to operators who already own 100mm tripod legs and need a capable fluid head to complete their support package.
Product Description
The TS-H12 fluid head uses a 100mm flat-base bowl that seats directly into any 100mm-compatible tripod bowl for fast leveling in the field. The adjustable pan and tilt fluid drag system covers a range of shooting speeds, from controlled slow pans during studio and interview work to the tighter, more responsive drag settings needed for documentary or event coverage. The counterbalance system adjusts to compensate for payload weight, keeping the head at rest at any tilt position once dialed in — essential for consistent framing when repositioning between shots. A quick-release plate with standard camera screw fittings enables fast camera mounting and removal without tools, supporting fast operator turnarounds on multi-camera or run-and-gun productions. The TS-H12 is the fluid head that ships inside the TS-H12CF-Q complete system kit, which pairs this head with a 2-stage carbon fiber tripod and ground spreader. Operators who already own a 100mm tripod can purchase the TS-H12 head standalone and achieve the same fluid head performance without repurchasing legs. The head is manufactured from aluminum and designed for the load cycles of daily professional broadcast and cinema use.
