SmallRig x Potato Jet TRIBEX Hydraulic Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit 4259 is designed for professional outdoor videography, offering swift and convenient operation. Featuring X-Clutch hydraulic technology, squeezing a single clutch allows all legs to rapidly unfold, adjust the angle, and automatically lock in just one second, providing photographers with a seamless experience. The clutch can also be adjusted to 45° and 90° to accommodate various shooting scenarios. Constructed with carbon fiber, both the legs and center column ensure lightweight design while delivering exceptional stability and high load-bearing capacity. Operating altitude ranges from 27cm (10.6in) to 168cm (66.1in), and a compact storage length of 79cm (31.1in). The center column features a quick-lock design for easy height adjustments, with a detachable Allen wrench built into the other side of the hook for convenient camera equipment assembly/disassembly, and the option for low-angle shooting at a minimum height of 27cm (10.6in). The compact design of the tripod allows it to fit in any standard luggage (28").
The kit includes a compact and lightweight hydraulic fluid head featuring an adjustable 4-step counterbalance system. When the gravitational center height is set at 55mm (2.2 inches), the 4-step counterbalance system effectively stabilizes cameras or other equipment (up to 6kg / 13.2lbs) while providing precise control over camera tilt. The fluid head allows seamless, stepless adjustments for tilt and pan damping, catering to filmmakers' varying shooting preferences. The fluid head adopts a new Touch-and-Go quick-release mount plate design which does not require alignment and is more efficient than traditional slide-in plates. The plate is compatible with 501 quick-release plates and DJI RS series quick-release plates, facilitating swift transitions between stabilizers and tripods during filming. The user-friendly detachable telescopic handle enables easy control of the head when attached to either the left or right side, ensuring compatibility with any grip. The fluid head also features three 1/4"-20 threaded holes for attaching accessories like magic arms, along with a built-in flat head screw for convenient camera installation and removal. The tripod also includes quick-release rubber feet with integrated spikes, allowing for seamless adaptation to various terrains.
