By re-evaluating the fundamentals of traditional tripod design, the Fibertec tripod provides the professional with an even more stable working platform, suitable for any application. Fibertec is exceptionally rigid; noticeably more stable when using high levels of drag or long lenses particularly in windy outdoor conditions.
The strength of Fibertec comes from the unique channel leg sections of carbon/glass composite. To improve set-up and positioning time, lever action leg clamps are positioned adjacent to each other at the top of their respective stages. To further increase durability and reliability, all exposed edges are reinforced and molded joints have eliminated the need for adhesives.
The unique design of the Fibertec's lever-operated clamping system is a significant contributory factor in the overall performance of the tripod. With long term reliability, ease of operation and minimal maintenance in mind, Vinten's designers have introduced a system that utilizes the entire length of the leg overlap. So the more the legs are nested, the bigger the clamping area, almost doubling the maximum carrying capacity of a traditional Vinten 100mm tripod to an impressive 99.2 lbs.
- Hi-Tech Construction
- A molded joint construction improves strength, durability and reliability, eliminates the need for adhesives. Exposed section edges are reinforced with a composite material to improve additional durability. If the clamps require in-field adjustment, a single screw makes the operation simple.
- Locking Clamps
- Can be unlocked simultaneously for quick deployment. The overlapping clamp design increases the stability of the tripod further.
- Locking Levers
- Provides a simple lever operation with clear visibility of lock status. Shuts flush to avoid cable snags, they also dislocate to prevent accidental damage.
- Unique Channel Sections
- Gives more resistance to the loads that frequently force tubular legs to bend - e.g. long lenses, distant objects and small movements - and provides extremely stable platform for pan and tilt movements with minimal spring back at the end of the movement and very low backlash when changing direction.
- Spread-Loc Spreader
- Utilizes the innovative Spread-Loc spreader to further increase the versatility and stability of Fibertec, providing additional support across a range of footprints and terrains and aiding quick deployment of tripod legs. Also available with a traditional floor spreader.
- Padded Shoulder Strap
- Gives you extra carrying support.
- Integral Leg Tie Catch
- Enables safe and convenient transport and storage.
