The Magnus VT-3000 Tripod System with Fluid Head is a stable, sturdy video tripod made from anodized aluminum that can support loads up to 6.6 lb. It provides many features commonly found on more expensive models. The two-way fluid head provides smooth operation, and features a half-ball mount with a diameter of 65mm, with left and right pan bar mounts. The VT-3000 tripod system weighs 7.75 lb.

The 3-section leg design allows you to adjust the height of the tripod from 28.6" to 61". A mid-level spreader and passive counterbalance provide improved stability. The VT-3000 has separate pan and tilt locks and a bubble level for precision leveling, and offers a full 360° pan range. The fixed counterbalance spring incorporated in the head provides smoother tilt movements.

          Comments about Magnus VT-3000 Tripod System with Fluid Head:

          Am using this tripod for a birding scope. It is lighter weight than my other tripods for long lenses with less risk of scope damage using a fluid head rather than a ball head. It is easy to use for those unfamiliar with this equipment.

              I work as cameramanin television productions and my experience with this tripod has been more than expected. The fluid head is excellent with smooth and precise movements. B & H is the best option to shop online. My order arrived very quickly in time for my next shot. Thanks B & H.
