Debuted at the prestigious Cinegear Expo in Los Angeles, the 2575E Platinum Edition is more than just a piece of equipment; it’s a tribute to OConnor’s enduring legacy of innovation.

• Stepless Pan and Tilt Fluid Drag: Allows for infinite adjustability, giving cinematographers precise control over every movement.
• Lightweight Carbon Fiber Cover: Enhances durability while reducing weight, making it ideal for dynamic shooting environments.
• New Platform Release Mechanism: Enables single-handed operation for a more efficient and seamless workflow.
“As we mark OConnor’s 75th anniversary, the launch of the 2575E Platinum Edition reflects both our rich heritage and ongoing contributions to the field of cinematography,” says Steve Turner, Head of Product Management at OConnor.
Expressing excitement about bringing this innovation to India, Mohan Rawat, AVP, Media & Entertainment at ARK Infosolutions, shares, “Introducing OConnor’s world-class products to India empowers our local cinematographers with the tools they need to achieve unparalleled precision and creativity in their projects.”
