SmallRig 5578 FSD18 FreeSpeed Heavy-Duty Carbon Fiber Tripod

The one-touch leg adjustment enables quick height changes, streamlining your on-location workflow. The tripod is constructed with carbon fibre legs (Ø18 mm) in a 3-section 2-2-1 segment configuration and a standard 100 mm bowl base.

It is paired with a fluid head featuring 7-step counterbalance and independent 4-step tilt/pan drag. The counterbalance mechanism supports loads from 4 kg to 10 kg, while the head offers a safe working load of 15 kg and a maximum payload of 17 kg. The tripod's working height ranges from 89.8 cm to 200.5 cm, ensuring stability under heavy loads and smooth motion shots, even when shooting from a high angle.

The included carry bag features a two-way YKK zip and a wide opening for easy packing. Inside, three Velcro straps secure the tripod in place, while a reinforced plastic base plate provides comprehensive protection against impacts during transport.
