The Quartz Two pedestal provides superior operational flexibility with a two-stage column, 77 cm / 30.3in on-shot stroke and 80 kg / 176.4 lbs maximum capacity. It can accommodate a wide range of camera, lens and teleprompter combinations, making it particularly suitable for studio productions. The Quartz design offers precise crab and steer control from a central steering ring, together with the ability to accelerate smoothly and rapidly; enabling easy repositioning even in the tightest of sets. The design of the base offers maximum stability, a single foot brake gives extra control at all times, and the fully skirted base incorporates a cable guard system that is simply adjusted by three external knobs.
