Teris TS300 Fluid Head

Product Overview

The Teris TS300 is a professional 100mm fluid head rated for 30 kg payloads, designed for broadcast, ENG, and documentary camera operators who need a reliable, high-capacity head to pair with their existing 100mm tripod system. With stepless drag on both pan and tilt axes, a 0–7 grade counterbalance system, and an aluminum construction, the TS300 delivers precise, repeatable camera movement for demanding production environments. Sold as a head-only unit, it suits operators upgrading from a lower-capacity head without replacing their current legs. The TS300 is a direct fit for professional broadcast cameras, compact cinema cameras, and heavy mirrorless configurations with accessories.

Product Description

The Teris TS300 fluid head offers a 30 kg payload in a 4.96 kg aluminum body, making it a capable and moderately portable choice for broadcast operators who need head-only solutions. The 100mm bowl fitting is the standard for mid-range professional tripod systems, and the TS300 is compatible with any 100mm tripod legs in a production inventory. The drag system offers 0–7 adjustment grades on both pan and tilt axes, providing a meaningful range from minimal resistance for smooth, flowing movements to firm drag for locked-off or slow pan shots. The counterbalance system also runs 0–7, allowing the head to be tuned for camera builds ranging from a lighter ENG body to a fully kitted broadcast camcorder with a large zoom lens. The tilt range of +90° to -75° covers the full range of practical shooting angles including high-angle overhead shots and low-angle ground-level coverage. For broadcast studio operators, documentary crews, and ENG teams who need a dependable 100mm fluid head with a solid payload rating and precise drag control, the TS300 is a well-specified choice.
