Libec QH1 / P1000

R 542,458.45
Tax included Shipping calculated at checkout.

The configuration combining the Libec QH1 fluid head and the Libec P1000 pneumatic pedestal forms the backbone of the official Libec QD-10PD Studio Pedestal System.

This setup is optimized for mid-to-heavy television studio environments and broadcast workflows. It is specifically designed to handle full studio configurations, teleprompters with talent monitors, and small box lenses up to a system payload of 40 kg (88 lbs).

System Component Breakdown

1. Libec QH1 Heavy-Duty Fluid Head

  • 4-Bolt Studio Mount: The QH1 natively features a flat base that bolts directly to the P1000's top plate using a standard 4-bolt mechanical layout (P.C.D. 111.1mm). This ensures absolute structural rigidity, completely eliminating flexing or shifting during snappy pans.

  • Continuous Micro-Counterbalance: Employs Libec's smooth continuous internal spring layout paired with a backlit side index meter. It provides perfect balance for camera setups weighing between 15 kg and 35 kg (33 to 77 lbs), ensuring the camera remains completely motionless at any tilt angle.

  • 7-Step Disked Fluid Drag: Uses an advanced multilayered metal disk architecture across 7 progressive stages of pan and tilt friction, giving operators highly repeatable, static-free resistance for long-lens tracking.

2. Libec P1000 2-Stage Pedestal Column

  • Pneumatic Upper Column: The pressurized top stage floats the camera setup weightlessly, allowing smooth manual "on-air" height elevation changes via the 19.7" steering ring.

  • Gas-Spring Assisted Mid Column: The lower stage utilizes a heavy-duty physical gas spring, enabling quick baseline height changes when building out the rig.

  • Pressure Safety Architecture: Features a built-in mechanical air pressure gauge with an integrated safety relief valve that automatically vents pressure at 143.6 psi to prevent over-pressurization.

3. Libec DL-15B High-Performance Dolly

  • 3-Way Foot Caster Control: The 125mm dual-wheel casters feature a step-switch mechanism that instantly sets the dolly into three modes: Free Mode (all-wheel pivot), Tracking Mode (locks wheels straight for linear track lines), and Steer Mode (locks rear wheels for pivoting).

  • Adjustable Cable Guards: Height-adjustable metal guards ride just above the floor surface to push heavy studio power and video cables out of the way, avoiding abrupt rolling bumps mid-shot.

System Technical Specifications Matrix:

Performance Parameter Combined System Configuration Specifications
Official System Package SKU Libec QD-10PD
Maximum Total System Payload 40.0 kg / 88.0 lbs (Driven by head counterbalance safety limit)
Pedestal Column Load Capacity Up to 60.0 kg / 132.3 lbs (Structural ceiling of P1000 column)
Perfect Counterbalance Window 15.0 kg to 35.0 kg / 33.0 lbs to 77.0 lbs (C.G. height at 125mm)
System Operational Height Range 91.5 cm to 173.0 cm / 36.0" to 68.0"
Total Column Stroke Adjustment 81.0 cm / 31.9" (Upper pneumatic: 41.5cm | Lower gas-assist: 39.5cm)
Maximum Operating Air Pressure 0.93 MPa / 9.3 bar / 134.9 psi
Included Control Handles 2x Libec PH-15B Telescoping Pan Bars
Total Net Hardware Weight 39.0 kg / 85.9 lbs (QH1 Head: 12.7kg | Pedestal & Dolly: 26.3kg)

Critical Studio Operating Safety Rule:

⚠️ The Pressurization Setup Rule: Always lock the upper column mechanical safety brake and engage the head's physical Center Tilt Lock steel pin before mounting or stripping components from the camera package. Furthermore, never add high-pressure air to the P1000 column using the included manual air pump unless the camera package is completely mounted and locked down. Pressurizing an empty or under-loaded pedestal will cause the upper column to shoot upward with extreme kinetic speed, presenting a severe risk of equipment damage or personal injury.
