Talon Head Sale:

Please read entire post very carefully before emailing with questions as many of them may be answered below.  Serious buyers only.  No window shopping please.

For sale is an absolutely pristine, turnkey Ravensclaw High Payload (rare) version of Talon Head, complete with tons of unused/as new accessories, upgrades and cables:

 *High Payload Talon Head:

This is not the standard version of Talon Head which peaks at 50 pounds of payload.  This is the High Payload version from Ravensclaw (the actual manufacturer) and is rated at 75 pounds (easily) of payload and is fully stable even without the outrigger.  This head has been completely redone inside and out with the brushless motor upgrade, high payload bearing upgrade, the backpan/stabilization upgrade which can be individually turned on and off for both pan and tilt axis, all new electronics and wiring within.  This is essentially a new head.

 *The Control Console/Wheels:

Also completely redone inside and out with updated electronics, wiring and new carbon fiber casing outside.  A brand new (new style) set of wheels which are as new/unused as well as the original style wheels included.  Console is Mitchell mount with a castle nut.  Comes with two wheel interconnect cables.  One cable is new/unused.

 *(Two) 2 inch risers (electronic connections).

 *Outrigger/Side stabilizer allows for even larger builds with more extreme dynamics.

 *Standard (Two of them and one is new/unused) and offset camera dovetail mounts.

 *Arri style dovetail mount.

 *Both the original standard unkeyed mitchell as well as a brand new/unused new style keyed Mitchell mount and two castle nuts and castle nut wrenches (two of each and one castle nut and castle nut wrench are new/unused).

 *Long Power and Control Cables with duplicates (and more) of each (one power cable is new/unused).

 *Block battery adapter cables (two and one is new/unused).

 *A/C power supply box.

 *Case included.

 This is a very complete, turnkey two axis remote head that is absolutely bulletproof.

Has all the regular Talon Head features like recordable/repeatable moves, etc.

Because it has been upgraded with the backpan/stabilization feature, this head is fantastic for car mounting and other applications.  Turn on or off each axis of stabilization depending on the situation.  This is why most stabilized heads have an issue when mounted to the actual vehicle being shot.  A typical stabilized head wants to maintain it’s heading even when the vehicle turns.  With this Talon Head, you can turn the stabilization off for pan but keep it on for the tilt axis or off all together.

The brushless motor upgrade makes this head even more accurate, repeatable and quiet even at high speeds.

 Never sub rented.  Only used on my jobs.

 If purchased new, this package would cost you $55,000 plus (including Roll Axis described below).

Selling everything listed complete for a (updated) Reduced Price of $25,000 US.

This system can be upgraded to a wireless system easily through Ravensclaw and with a controller board upgrade, can be used with Inertia Wheels.

This package now includes a fully stabilized and separate Roll Ring third axis making this a three axis stabilized system while still retaining the ability to turn stabilization on and off for Tilt and Pan individually.  The Roll Axis can be used by itself off of the Talon Head on any other platform including Steadicam, Fluid Head, Geared Head or Handheld.

Shipping, insurance, etc are the responsibility of the buyer.

I always send a date stamped video before shipping showing the head functioning as it should to anyone who purchases gear from me and my company.

This is a great opportunity to own a bulletproof day in and day out remote head that can live on the truck and make constant rental.  Can easily pay for itself on one series job.  This head has made me a great deal of rental income but i just have too many remote heads now to drag around with me from show to show so this one must find a good home.

 You can message me but i may or may not get it quickly so please email for questions, more details and more photos to:
