Description

TANGO II is the fastest third axis which is adaptable on any type of head.

Compared to his competitors, TANGO II enjoys a considerable advantage of being able to rotate on the optical axis, allowing the camera operator to change the angle of the horizon.

The patented conception of TANGO II includes small product-dimension. The thickness is only 2.3″. Whatever head chosen, the panoramic movement remains horizontal and the tilt stays vertical. So you will realize that the maneuvering of the fluid or gear head remains unchanged. The twin support and racks add further advantages to TANGO II such as silence, steadiness and flexibility when moving your camera, and a locking position range of 90° degrees.

TANGO II allows you to safely and easily move your camera in giving a third axis of motion to your favorite two axes head.

 

The TANGO Mark II offers the following improvements over the original Tango/Swing head:

  • New quick release locking mechanism that prevent side to side play.
  • New brake lever accessible on either side of the head to clear long camera sliding base plates.
  • New flexible shaft adapter: with any ARRI flexible shaft (“whip”) you can roll the head from either the front or the back of the head.
  • New removable handle: to clear the long camera sliding base plates you can fit the handle at the front or the back of the head. The new handle has the ARRI flex shaft receptacle built-in.
  • New adapter to accept the mini Sachtler Touch & Go plate, ideal for small video cameras.
