It's one thing to shoot an occasional home video on something with three legs and a "fluid-effect" head. However, if you happen to do it every day for a living, it is quite a different situation. Conditions may vary from live reporting in bad weather to press conferences on polished wood floors, and your shots must look good, reliably. This calls for something of a much higher caliber--something like the Libec LS-100 Professional Single Stage Aluminum Tripod System.
The foundation of the LS-100 is the robust T102 one-stage aluminum alloy tripod with dual-tube construction. Rotary clamps firmly lock each section in place regardless of temperature fluctuations, and the SP-5 ground-level spreader adds lateral strength, and protects delicate floor surfaces. For transport, a convenient retractable cable quickly lashes all three legs together when collapsed.
Standing tall on the 100mm leveling bowl, the H100 fluid head includes one PH-7 pan arm, but has a second rosette for dual or left-handed configurations. For varying lens and camera combinations, the continuously variable counterbalance and sliding camera plate provide finger-tip handling up to the load limit of 55 lbs (25kg). Whip pans, slow motion sequences--no problem. Continuously variable true fluid drag provides precisely the right amount of dampening you need. Finally, if you dread mounting a fluid head in the dark amid a web of cables and under sheets of driving rain, you'll find inner peace with the illuminated bubble level shining brightly with a ruby glow in your sea of chaos.
As a working professional in the field, you demand strength, versatility, and reliability from your field kit. With the Libec LS-100, you'll find that and more from spreader to wedge plate, backed with the iron-clad Libec 3-year warranty.
