FH-7240: Cinema Fluid Head

Engineered for videographers who demand flawless control, effortless operation, and professional-grade reliability

Smooth, Precise, Unstoppable

The RRS FH-7240 fluid head is the pinnacle of videography innovation, built from three years of design and user feedback to deliver unparalleled performance and precision. Supporting loads up to 27 lbs, it excels in dynamic shooting environments with 7 adjustable damping settings and a fluid system that ensures silky smooth whip-pans. Thoughtful ergonomics place all controls within easy reach of the operator, while a carbon fiber control arm with rubber grip minimizes noise and maximizes handling. User-replaceable Arri-compatible rosettes, an RRS dovetail lever clamp, and a versatile universal mounting plate simplify rig setup and workflow. Additional features—spring-loaded safety stops, laser-engraved degree markings, a red-illuminated bubble level, and integrated tool storage—combine to make the FH-7240 a complete solution for professional filmmakers seeking control, stability, and reliability in every shot.
