The Libec RS-450RM Tripod System With Mid-Level Spreader is a lightweight, cost-effective support system designed for shoulder, DSLR, and ENG type video cameras.
It starts with a professional tripod fluid head that, due to its variable counterbalance system, can accommodate a wide variety of cameras and still maintain perfect balance. Combined with a free plus 3-step drag mode and an ability to function in temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C), the RS-450RM provides smooth, dependable panning and tilting.
Supporting the fluid head is a 2-stage aluminum tripod. Its increased maximum height and 75mm ball diameter ensure torsional rigidity, with stability further enhanced by the use of aluminum die casting material for the tripod's upper leg casing. The spreader keeps the legs in place on uneven surfaces while a set of large rubber feet add traction on floors while preventing scratching.
Weighing 14.3 lb (6.5 kg) combined, the system extends as high as 5.66' or as low as 33.5" (85 cm). The entire kit fits into the included carrying bag, which can open flat for use as a floor mat for equipment when on location.
