Sachtler Flowtech 100 Overview

The Sachtler flowtech Carbon Fiber Tripod with Ground Spreader eschews the common single or double carbon fiber tube design and has redesigned the shape of the legs for improved torsional strength. The legs weigh 8.8 lb, yet they can support a payload of up to 66 lb and extend from a minimum height of 16.9" to a maximum height of 62.6" when using the included removable ground spreader. Each leg features a single clamping lever that locks and unlocks the sections.

Each leg extends or retracts independently from the other two, and when detached from the spreader, each leg can pivot without affecting the other legs, especially useful when working on rough or uneven terrain. You can remove the spreader completely and lock each leg in one of three positions, so you can work without a spreader if you wish. This enables you to spread the legs extremely wide for low shots while the tripod legs maintain their torsional stability. The dual spikes at the end of each leg provide extra grip when working on softer ground.

Features
Dual-stage, carbon fiber 100mm bowl tripod.
Three 3/8"-16 accessory mounting holes are integrated into the outside of the 100mm bowl.
The legs by themselves weigh only 8.8 lb but support up to 66 lb.
The design and construction of the legs provide tremendous torsional stability. In other words, the legs resist twisting when you pan the tripod head.
Each leg features a single clamping lever lock design at the top of the leg, near the 100mm bowl. This allows you to loosen all three leg sections from a single location, saving you time while reducing the wear and tear on your body as you don't have to bend down to loosen a lock at the bottom to lower or raise the legs.
The legs incorporate a locking mechanism that enables the legs to move freely for working with a spreader, or to lock at one of three angles when working without a spreader.
With the spreader, the height range is 16.9 to 62.6". However, if you remove the ground spreader and utilize the built-in locking mechanism, the usable height range is 10.2 to 60.2".

I sent it back because it was too expensive for me to justify spending that much money for what I do.

Perfect for the professional

As with any pricey gear. You have to take into build quality, reliability, and how this tool is going to make your life easier and your work more efficient. With my various camera build configurations; including matte box/follow focus and portable teleprompter setup... this guy does the trick. In my estimation, its worth the investment to be able to move faster on a shoot and more easily get shots from different perspectives (where another tripod might make this work more laborious and cumbersome).
