Cinegears Cinekit 5 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with SC-V25/150RP Head and SC-FS100 Ground Spreader

Find unparalleled support and stability with the Cinekit 5 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod, a premium choice for professional cinematographers and videographers. This robust tripod system, which succeeds the acclaimed Reach 11 kit, is designed to handle the demands of heavy camcorder configurations, making it an ideal fit for a wide range of production environments, including Electronic Field Production (EFP), high-definition (HD) setups, stereoscopic 3D shooting, outside broadcasting, and studio applications with teleprompters or studio lenses.

The Cinekit 5 boasts an impressive maximum payload capacity of 38.4 kg (84.6 lbs) at a Center of Gravity (CoG) height of 125mm, ensuring it can support a diverse array of equipment with ease. The CoG height is a critical measurement indicating the distance between the CoG of a fully loaded camera on the fluid head and the top of the head itself. This feature is crucial for maintaining stability and balance, especially when the fluid head is under a heavier load.

Crafted with precision, the included SC-V25/150RP fluid head integrates an advanced 8-grade drag system with 0+7 steps, enabling cinematographers to execute the smoothest of movements, whether they're tracking a subject diagonally, along an arc, or requiring precise motion control. The head's friction-free damping system is designed to perform reliably in extreme temperature conditions, and the counterbalance system offers 8 selectable grades, complemented by a balance adjustment lever to fine-tune your setup.

The tripod's carbon fiber construction not only provides exceptional durability but also contributes to its lightweight profile, making it a practical option for on-the-go shoots. Each leg of the tripod features twin-tubes, ensuring high torsional rigidity, which is essential for preventing unwanted twisting during panning movements and for achieving fluid camera motion.

For added versatility, the Cinekit 5 includes the SC-FS100 Ground Spreader, which, along with the optional mid-spreader and rubber feet, allows for stable operation on various terrains and surfaces. The tripod extends to a significant height, offering flexibility in shot composition, while the 150 mm diameter integrated leveling ball on the fluid head ensures quick and precise leveling.

The sideload system, which includes a quick-release plate and balance plate, simplifies the process of achieving the perfect camera balance point. With a sliding range of 120 mm, the balance plate allows for meticulous adjustments, ensuring the camera remains stable and balanced, even when using long lenses. Additionally, the self-illuminated leveling bubble aids in quick setup, even in low-light conditions.

While the Cinekit 5 is a comprehensive system on its own, it is compatible with the Cinegears VCT18 tripod adapter and the SC-Dolly100H heavy-duty dolly (both sold separately) for enhanced functionality and mobility in studio settings.

Elevate your production quality with the Cinekit 5 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with SC-V25/150RP Head and SC-FS100 Ground Spreader, a professional-grade solution engineered for the most demanding filming scenarios.
