The legs lock firmly in place at just a flick of a handle, spiked rubber feet and rubber overshoes keep a steady grip even on tricky terrain, and it’s versatile enough to pair with a number of different dollies.

A precise, reliable head combined with a lightweight yet robust tripod to form the perfect package. The video head mounted in this system is the most compact in our successful Bridging Technology™ range.

The combination of lightweight design, fast set up features and special levelling aids makes it the perfect tripod whether you are using it indoors or outdoors. Tension-adjustable flip leg levers make setting up and packing away the tripod into its supplied padded carry case both fast and easy.
