Equipped with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, the OConnor 1030HDs fluid head and large telephoto lenses, Indian cinematographer and animal rights and environmental activist Sabyasachi Patra set off for the Anamalai Tiger reservation in the Western Ghats to shoot his film, A Call lin the Rainforest.

Sabyasachi documents the reasons for the tigers‘ threatened existence: in particular the fast growth of the nearby city of Valparai. Tea plantations, increasing tourism, and street construction are destroying the rain forest and, consequently, the natural habitat of the tigers.

Filming was done in intense sunlight as well as during heavy rainfall. “Despite the frequent fog and light drizzle in the rain forest, the fluid head worked flawlessly in every situation,” says Sabyasachi. “Filming in the wilderness also means struggling on difficult-to-access terrain. That’s why I prefer light DSLR cameras to save space. In contrast to many products the OConnor fluid head is perfectly suited for use with light camera set-ups. This makes it an ideal companion for me.”

Featuring a counterbalance of 0 to 18.6 kg (0 to 41 lbs), the 1030 range of products offer maximum versatility for filming with a wide variety of lenses, cameras and accessories.
