    Mitchell / Flat Base Fluid Heads

    They have one at the bottom that handles up to 265lbs, so that should be OK for your application.

    ... and what monopod will you be using with this?

    There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!

    If you don't mind older stuff, the Gitzo Rationale 4 would probably fill the bill.

    Re: high load capacity

    actually the load is not a camera, I work with tactic UAV's (unmanned air vehicles) with a load of 30-40 kg, while the technitian assemble the UAV on a stand he needs to change and cheak the picth and roll angles, today 2 technicians are lifting the UAV and cheaking the angles, I want the ability of cheaking the angles with one technitian while the UAV is still on the stand. I need the ability of controling 3 axis sepertly (see pic). I will be glad if u can help me find the suitable head or another idea. The max price I can pay for one head is 1000 dolar.
