Carbon Fiber Tripod
The lightweight tripod is constructed with durable carbon fiber and, along with the fluid head, has an adjustable height range of 10.6 to 66.1".

Its X-clutch hydraulic technology allows instant single-action extension of all three legs with one motion. The legs also feature removable rubber feet and spiked feet to fit various settings. On their own, the legs feature a 77.1 lb maximum payload.

Versatile Fluid Head
The fluid head allows you to use the included Manfrotto 501-style quick release plate or a DJI RS-style quick release plate with the flip of a simple touch-and-go switch. The head can pan 360° and tilt +90/-60°, and the quick release plate features 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera screws to accommodate all camera types.

It features stepless tilt and pan damping, 6-step dynamic counterbalance for precise control, and a 13.2 lb maximum payload.

Additional Features
Other features include 1/4"-20 accessory threads on the sides of the head, extreme low-angle shots, compatibility with DJI RS series plates, bubble levels on the head and legs, and a pan bar that can be installed on either side of the head.

The total rig weight is 8.2 lb, and the whole system folds down to 31.1" in length for transport in the included carrying bag.

Would it be easy to adapt this for a Swiss Arca plate?
Asked by: David
Using a SmallRig adapter, BH #SM4234, an Arca plate can be used. The adapter fits the 501 mount and gives an Arca type mount.

Hello, I have a Sony FX6 outfitted with a Zacuto VCT Pro Baseplate. Can I mount the Smallrig QR Plate to a compatible VCT plate?
Asked by: Ryan
The SmallRig x Potato Jet Tribex Hydraulic Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit has a Manfrotto-syle quick-release plate that would allow you to attach a VCT quick-release. Using the Zacuto VCT Tripod Plate (B&H # ZAZVCTTP) attached to the 501 smallrig plate would allow you to attach your rig to the tripod.
