The OConnor 120EXe Encoded Heavy Duty Fluid Head is designed to provide high-precision pan and tilt position information for cinema quality visual effects production for feature films and commercials. Such positioning information is also critical for optimizing 3D productions in post production.

The 120EXe head was developed in conjunction with Mo-Sys, a designer and manufacturer of remote heads, motion control and motion tracking products. 

The encoding version of OConnor’s established heavy duty 120EX fluid head features built-in encoders and requires no bolt-on assembly of other hardware.

Like the 120EX, a heavy duty non-encoded model of the head, the 120EXe can support up to a 120 lb (54kg) camera package through the head’s entire tilt range of ±90 degrees, and can counterbalance up to 240 lbs (109 kg) through a tilt range of ±60 degrees (both payload weights based on a 8” center of gravity).

The 120EXe encoded head provides ultimate control and stability for film style shooting with a full array of OConnor features, including the true and accurate balance achieved through the sinusoidal EX-counterbalance technology. The EX-drag technology is ultra-smooth and stepless to give an infinite range of control to the operator.

The 120EXe provides output pan and tilt position information via an external 19 pin Fischer connector.

Mo-Sys provides a companion encoder box for the 120EXe which allows high resolution pan and tilt data of 1.8 million counts per revolution to be output from the head, making it suitable for film and HD formats.

When the 120EXe is coupled to the Mo-Sys Motion Logger, it instantly becomes a powerful camera motion capture system for use in post production.  When used with the Mo-Sys 3D Inserter, it also allows real-time previsualisation of live action and CG compositing on set.

The 120EXe is being exclusively being sold by our partner Mo-Sys.
Mo-Sys is a provider of professional encoded equipment and motion control products to the Film, TV and Special Effects industries.
