Crafted for the discerning media professional, this system supports medium-sized camcorders and digital cine cameras weighing up to 12 kg (26.5 lbs.), ensuring a sturdy and reliable setup for a variety of shooting environments. The aktiv8 fluid head, a centerpiece of this system, boasts SpeedLevel technology, enabling rapid and accurate leveling to capture the perfect frame swiftly, a feature particularly beneficial in fast-paced documentary, corporate, or news settings. The SpeedSwap system enhances this fluid head's versatility, offering the quickest method to transition between tripod and slider, maximizing creative flexibility and efficiency on set. With 15 distinct counterbalance steps, the aktiv8 system allows for swift and precise camera balancing, while the sideload mechanism offers an extended sliding range of 120 mm for effortless camera loading and optimal positioning. Seven distinct drag settings ensure smooth camera movement, eliminating jolts and vibrations, and the illuminated PrismBubble, visible from the top or side, facilitates effortless leveling from any angle. The flowtech75 tripod, constructed from high-quality carbon fiber for both lightness and durability, is engineered for high torsional stiffness, providing a stable and secure base. Its innovative design features quick-release brakes for immediate deployment and adjustment, and an ergonomic build that makes the tripod comfortable to transport, whether on the shoulder or by the carry handle. This system's versatility is further enhanced by the flowtech75's ability to go flat to the ground, thanks to its unique hinge lock mechanism, allowing for extreme low-angle shots and an expansive height range. The tripod extends to a maximum height of 55.1" to 65", with a minimum height of 30.1" to 35", accommodating a broad spectrum of shooting scenarios. Completing the system is the adjustable mid-level spreader, which provides additional stability and flexibility, and the quick-attach rubber foot mechanism for secure placement on various surfaces. When it's time to move to the next location, the tripod's legs are secured together by a magnetic lock for easy transportation.
