SKU: LIB-RHP85

Libec 100mm ball video head with a PH-8B, payload 25kg

R 118,203.90
Tax included Shipping calculated at checkout.

The exact hardware match for a Libec 100mm ball video head natively compatible with the PH-8B pan handle that supports a 25kg payload is the flagship Libec RHP85 Professional Fluid Head.

Core Capabilities of the Libec RHP85

  • Continuous Perfect Counterbalance: Rather than using step-based increments, the RHP85 features a fully variable micro-adjustable internal spring tension mechanism. While its absolute max payload threshold is 25 kg (55 lbs), it provides a perfect counterbalance sweet spot for camera packages weighing between 9 kg and 20 kg (20 to 44 lbs). When calibrated correctly, a heavy broadcast rig will freeze completely at any tilt angle when you release the handles.

  • 7-Step Mechanical Drag Control: Equipped with independent 7-stage smooth pan and tilt fluid switches (plus a true zero-drag bypass), providing predictable, high-precision mechanical resistance during slow tracking moves or immediate panoramic action.

  • Wobble-Free Balance Stabilizer: Features an internal bearing architecture specifically targeting and neutralizing "pan backlash"—the micro-wobbles or horizontal spring-back shifts that typically occur when a heavy telephoto configuration comes to an abrupt halt.

  • One-Touch Sliding Plate Mechanism: Includes an extra-long sliding camera plate (Sliding range: $\pm$55mm) that drops straight down into the platform and snaps locked instantly, dramatically speeding up balancing setup for complex studio configurations.

Technical Specifications:

Performance Parameter Libec RHP85 Fluid Head Specifications
Maximum Ultimate Payload 25.0 kg / 55.0 lbs
Perfect Counterbalance Range 9.0 kg to 20.0 kg / 20.0 lbs to 44.0 lbs (C.G. at 125mm)
Native Mounting Interface 100mm Leveling Ball Base
Pan / Tilt Drag Mode 7-Step True Fluid Dampening (Independent Controls)
Vertical Tilt Angle Window +90° to -70° Range
Bubble Level Baseline Integrated Illuminated LED Bubble Level
Compatible Pan Bar Handle Libec PH-8B (Telescopic Range: 16" to 22" / 40.5cm to 56cm)
Operating Temperature Range Extreme Field Performance from -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +140°F)
Head Hardware Weight 4.1 kg / 9.0 lbs

System & Handle Customization Notes:

  • Dual-Handle Setup: The RHP85 head includes dual rosette mounts. Pairing the head with 2 pieces of the PH-8B handle creates a standard studio broadcast layout. This allows the operator to mount electronic lens zoom demands to one handle and focus demands to the other for traditional live studio ergonomics.

  • Alternative Legacy Head: If you are sourcing used or older legacy gear, the classic Libec H100 also shares a 100mm bowl base and a 25kg capacity, but uses older variable fluid modules and ships with the non-telescopic PH-7 pan arm. The RHP85 remains the modern standard choice.
