Matthews MT1 Tripod with TV Mitchell Mount

The MT-1 (812175) is specifically engineered to handle massive camera assemblies paired with heavy telephoto lenses. It is a staple in high-action remote broadcasts?such as auto racing, football, baseball, and wrestling?because it provides the structural resistance required to eliminate tripod jitter, twisting, or swaying during rapid "whip" pans and tracking movements. The 812175 configuration features a Television-Style Mitchell Mount, differing slightly from the 812170 motion picture variant by optimizing head-clamping and tie-down clearances typically favored in TV studio and OB (Outside Broadcast) van environments.
