The P1000 pedestal features a pneumatic column with a 150mm flat base and rolling dolly wheels. The dolly wheels feature a tracking locking mechanism to keep the dolly moving in a straight line. The removable cable guards prevent the pedestal from rolling over cables as you move the pedestal around the studio. The pedestal supports up to 132 lb, which means it can easily handle the QH1 head and compatible camera without approaching the pedestal’s weight limit.
The Libec QH1 Fluid Head is a pedestal-capable heavy-duty head supporting up to 88 lb. It features a 4-bolt flat base and comes with a 150mm half ball adapter that secures via four included screws. The QH1 has a side-mount camera plate system and includes a sliding plate with dual 3/8″-16 threaded mounting screws.
The fluid head is well suited for use with teleprompter setups, including those with talent monitors, as well as for supporting cameras with small box lenses, and it comes with two 2-piece telescoping pan bars that allow for easier integration of optional zoom controllers. Other features include continuous counterbalance, 7-step drag, independent pan and tilt locks, and an illuminated bubble level.

The Libec P1000 150mm Flat Base Pedestal System is a 2-stage pneumatic column pedestal system that supports up to 132 pounds (including fluid head) and features 31.9″ of height adjustment, a steering ring, 150mm flat base for mounting either a Libec QH1 or QH3 fluid head, and a rolling dolly with removable cable guards.
The P1000 is equipped with a tracking locking mechanism that ensures straight-line movement by locking the caster direction as you move from position to position.The cable guards ride low over the wheels to prevent you from accidently rolling over cables when shifting positions on the studio floor. The cable guards can be raised up when needed to allow the dolly to roll over uneven surfaces. An included manual air pump allows you to charge the center column for proper operation, while an optional kick ring helps provide you a place to use your feet to help start smooth rolling movement of the pedestal.
- The P1000 Pedestal can support 132 pounds of equipment, including video head, camera, and accessories
- Adjust the air pressure in the upper column to match the weight of the attached equipment; Libec refers to this as balancing the upper column, and it allows for easy height adjustment

- Generally, with 0.25MPa (2.5 bar / 36.3 psi) of air pressure, the pedestal can balance 22 pounds of weight
- The included adjustment weights allow you to fine-tune the balance on the upper column
