2 Good to know Panther GmbH Established as a family business in 1986 by the former camera operator Erich Fitz, Panther has more than twenty years of tradition and experience. It is known worldwide as the leader in the development and manufacturing of camera dollies and cranes. From the beginning, Panther products have made significant contributions to the film industry. In 1990, the Super Panther, the first and most popular electromechanical dolly in the world, received a technical Oscar, the Scientific and Engineering Award, in Hollywood. Today Panther dollies and cranes are used on major movies worldwide, because Panther stands for innovation, strength and superior quality. Panther s products are manufactured in Germany to the highest standards and are always supported with excellent service. Since 2002, Panther has been serving the needs of television productions successfully with their line of smaller dollies and cranes, specially developed tripod systems and lights. These Panther Broadcast products fit a wide range of production requirements. Rental outlets in Munich, Hamburg and Prague deliver quick feedback of the manufactured products and current market requirements. The X Technology Digital Studio Industry Leadership Award for the X Technology The range starts with the fluid heads T4 and T6 for compact DV cameras, the T 10 for Camcorders, the X15 for HD cameras and the T 28 for EFP/16mm and T45 for OB and 35 mm film applications. The star of the line is the fluid head X15 with its X technology which allows for jerk-free, smooth movements as it combines the best of two worlds of fluid head design. X technology systems feature an easy to operate continuous balance system, whereby the tilt range is not restricted by the balance system, so that a tilt angle of ±90 can be achieved at any payload. The damping is provided with an instantaneous, super-smooth step & spin system, with defined presets and at the same time continuous. Drag can even be changed while panning or tilting the camera (patents pending). Panther is aiming to apply the X technology into all of their future fluid head systems. principle of counterbalance principle of damping tilt axle pressure plate ±90 tilt angle springs eccentric rod static conus rotating and sideward moving conus variable gap filled with silicone grease base plate range adjust
