edelkrone FlexTILT Head v3
Ultra-Portable, Constant-Friction Pan & Tilt Camera Mount – Fully Functional
The edelkrone FlexTILT Head v3 is a brilliantly engineered, ultra-portable tripod and slider head designed for filmmakers and still photographers who demand instant shot framing. Capable of supporting DSLR and mirrorless camera rigs weighing up to 5.5 lbs, this reengineered v3 model utilizes edelkrone’s proprietary constant friction technology. This allows you to fluidly adjust your camera’s height, tilt angle, and horizontal extension with one hand—completely eliminating the need to constantly tighten or loosen clumsy knobs and locks.

Whether attached to a tripod, mounted to a slider to extend its physical tracking range, or placed freestanding on a flat desktop, the FlexTILT v3 uses an innovative joints system to shift the center of balance effortlessly. This ensures your camera setup remains rock-steady and perfectly balanced in any layout.

Please note: This unit is fully functional and includes the necessary camera mounting screw and adjustment hex key. It is missing the small 3/8″-16 to 1/4″-20 threaded reduction bushing adapter.

Key Features & Framing Versatility
Instant One-Handed Adjustments: Engineered with constant friction technology that operates seamlessly without buttons, locks, or tension knobs. Simply position your camera with one hand, release it, and the head instantly holds its angle.

frestanding Standalone Capability: The unique geometric linkage design allows you to find the center of gravity effortlessly, enabling the head to sit entirely freestanding on any flat surface for low-angle or desktop shooting.

Dynamic Height & Horizontal Reach: Acts as a mechanical crane arm, letting you instantly raise your camera’s height or extend it horizontally over a foreground obstacle to maximize your compositional options.

340° Smooth Panning: Features a fluid panning base with indexed angle guide marks and lens-center indicators, making it an excellent tool for panoramic still stitching and repeatable panning pans.

Integrated Positioning Aids: Built with an integrated bubble level on the chassis to confirm a perfectly level horizon, alongside precise markings to ensure consistent repositioning.

Premium Machined Build: Constructed out of highly durable machined aluminum components to deliver structural stiffness and reliable long-term friction resistance.

Item Condition & Diagnostic Notes
Operational Status: Fully operational. All friction joints retain their factory-spec hold, the panning base rotates smoothly, and the articulation mechanism extends reliably throughout its full range of motion.

Included Accessories: Comes equipped with the integrated camera mounting tie-down screw and the matching physical hex key wrench used to tune joint tension to your preferred camera weight.

Missing Components: Missing the 3/8″-16 to 1/4″-20 screw adapter bushing. The bottom mounting socket natively features a standard 3/8″-16 thread to screw directly onto most professional tripods and sliders. If your tripod or quick-release plate uses a smaller 1/4″-20 stud, a standard, inexpensive reduction bushing will need to be sourced separately.
