Extruded Technology

Extruded Aluminum for Strength and Precision in Camera Support Systems

Zenelli® components are machined from extruded aluminum bars rather than die-cast parts, ensuring higher structural integrity and material consistency.

The extrusion process aligns the internal grain structure of the material, resulting in stronger and more reliable components compared to die casting, where internal defects such as porosity can affect long-term durability.

Machining from solid extruded material also enables higher precision and tighter tolerances, which are essential for components that require accurate alignment and consistent mechanical behavior.

In real-world applications, this translates into improved load handling, greater stability, and long-term reliability. These advantages are particularly important in high-performance systems such as carbon fiber gimbal heads used with heavy telephoto lenses, where structural precision directly impacts control and shooting accuracy.
