Teris TSN6 PLUS 75mm Fluid Head

Product Overview

The Teris TSN6 PLUS 75mm Fluid Head is a professional broadcast fluid head designed for camera rigs up to 7 kg, featuring a drop-in quick release plate with dual 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera screw options and a 75mm bowl base for use with standard broadcast tripods. At 2.09 kg, the TSN6 PLUS is one of the lightest professional fluid heads in the Teris lineup, making it the practical choice for ENG operators, documentary crews, and video journalists who prioritize portability without sacrificing head performance. Its aluminum construction provides the durability expected in broadcast field use.

Product Description

The TSN6 PLUS is built for camera packages in the 3–7 kg range — mirrorless video rigs with accessories, compact broadcast cameras, and ENG cameras in the light class. The 75mm bowl base is the broadcast industry standard for this payload class, providing a secure seating surface with fast leveling capability. Independent pan and tilt drag adjustment allows operators to tune head resistance separately on each axis, which is essential for maintaining smooth, consistent movement when panning across subjects or tilting through a reveal. The counterbalance system compensates for the forward weight of the camera and lens, preventing the head from tilting forward when the pan handle is released. The drop-in quick release plate uses dual screw options to accommodate cameras and cage systems with either 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 threaded mounting holes, and releases with a single lever for fast camera changes. At 2.09 kg, the TSN6 PLUS adds minimal weight to a portable field kit. The 7 kg payload capacity provides a practical margin above the weight of most mirrorless and compact broadcast camera packages, accommodating accessories such as follow focus systems, monitors, and radio microphone receivers without exceeding the rated load. The TSN6 PLUS is well matched to the Teris TSN6AL PLUS tripod system as a complete package, and functions equally well on any 75mm bowl tripod from other manufacturers.
