Hello,
I'm selling my OConnor Model 30 100mm fluid head. I've been keeping it as a backup but it hasn't seen a set in ages. It was refurbished last year by Transylvania Film & TV Corp. in North Hollywood and is in excellent working condition.

"The New O'Connor Model 30 Fluid Camera Head"
Introduced at Photokina 76 was the newest addition to the O'Connor line -the Model 30, which the manufacturer considers to be the culmination of its quarter-century of experience in building fluid heads and regards as quite possibly the most desirable head the company has ever built.
It is surprisingly small and weighs only 5 lbs. Yet it will easily handle motion picture and video cameras weighing up to 30 lbs. It has all the features and smooth-steady action found on the largest and most elaborate O'Connor heads.
This entirely new fluid head is unlike all others in its engineering. The counterbalance is unique in that it can be easily adjusted for a 10- to 30-lb. camera while in the field. The continuously adjustable new fluid type drag mechanism is a totally new concept for O'Connor providing very smooth and sensitive panning through 360°, and tilting up to ± 60°. Both the pan and tilt locks are independent of the fluid system.
For smaller motion picture and video cameras, the Model 30 is the perfect head for ultra-smooth action photography.
