The FL-9 On-Ground Spreader is chosen when shooting is performed on a level surface, such as studios, city streets, offices, sport fields and stadiums. It allows for rapid set-up and take-down by keeping tripod legs at an equal or preset distance relative to each other. It attaches directly to the feet at the bottom of a tripod and its arms are telescopic to allow extension of a tripod leg without detaching the spreader.

Comments about Daiwa / Slik FL-9 On-Ground Spreader:
This will be the third FL-9 that I have had to purchase as they still haven't seemed to have figured out how to build these things right. The spreader adjustment knobs all eventually fail, and there is no good way to repair them. It makes for very frustrating situations when I'm trying to move quickly from one setup to another. The quality of the construction otherwise is very good.
