The flagship of OConnor’s Ultimate range of fluid heads.
Ultimate 2575D Fluid Head for cameras up to 90 LBS (40.8 kg)

I have used all friction settings, free spinning my camera on a zero setting for trailing lights as well as using the heaviest settings for macro work. I enjoy the versatility that I get and most of all, the reliability. I have never had an issue with the OConnors. What more can I ask for?
Description
With its famous features the 2575 fluid head has become the standard for film production. The head includes OConnor’s patented sinusoidal counterbalance system for true, accurate balance at any point in the tilt range. Add to this OConnor’s stepless, ultra-smooth pan & tilt fluid drag, and you’ve got ultimate control and stability for film style shooting.
As the next generation head of the highly successful 2575 series, the 2575D retains a large number of features and functions from the older heads but includes many new features:
- Platform controls on the operator’s side of the head
- Platform release lever with a one touch finger actuated safety release catch – allowing for one “finger” or hand action to undo the safety catch and open the lever
- Dual platform scales
- Platform with 4 handle rosettes
- Soft hand rest on left hand side
