Teris TS120 Fluid Head
Product Overview
The Teris TS120 Fluid Head is a professional 100mm flat-base fluid head supporting camera rigs up to 33 lb (15 kg), positioned as Teris's mid-range broadcast and cinema head between the TS100 and TS150 in their lineup. A drop-in quick-release plate with both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera screw options enables fast camera mounting across body types, while the adjustable fluid drag and counterbalance system provide the smooth, controlled pan and tilt movement required for broadcast-quality footage. The TS120 is sold as a standalone fluid head and pairs with any 100mm bowl-compatible tripod legs, including Teris's own aluminum and carbon fiber systems.
Product Description
The TS120 uses a 100mm flat-base bowl interface that accommodates any 100mm-compatible tripod legs for fast bowl leveling without a separate adapter. The drop-in quick-release plate slides fore and aft to balance the camera rig without tools; the dual 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera screw options cover any camera base or cage plate configuration. Adjustable pan and tilt fluid drag covers a useful range for both broadcast and cinema work — from smooth slow pans during controlled interview or studio setups to tighter drag settings for precise framing during events or sports coverage. The counterbalance system adjusts to match payload weight, keeping the head stationary at any tilt angle and preventing drift when the operator releases the pan bar. At 3.09 kg, the TS120 head is built from precision-machined aluminum and is designed for the load cycles of daily professional use. Compared to the lighter TS100 (12 kg payload, 2.67 kg head weight), the TS120 adds 3 kg of additional payload capacity for operators running heavier broadcast rigs. Operators needing a complete system can pair the TS120 head with Teris's matching kits: the TS120AL (aluminum legs) or the TS120CF-Q (carbon fiber legs). The head is equally at home on a studio pedestal bowl or a carbon fiber location tripod, making it a flexible centerpiece for multi-camera or owner-operator productions.
