Ronford-Baker Fluid Head Thirty (F15S) with Flight Case & Accessories

Up for sale is a legendary Ronford-Baker Fluid Head Thirty (F15S) cinema fluid head, complete with its original custom-fitted hardshell flight case, camera wedge plate, and pan handle.

Known throughout the global film industry for its bulletproof engineering, the Fluid Head 30 features an ultra-smooth 15-speed fluid drag system in both pan and tilt, alongside a fluid "BOOST" feature (+15) to effortlessly balance heavier camera packages. Fitted with a massive 150mm ball base, this head provides absolute rigidity and smooth mechanical movement for professional 16mm, 35mm, and modern large-format digital cinema rigs (Arriflex, RED, Sony, Panavision).
