Just when you thought professional-grade camera support couldn't get more reliable, the 18AL1HD 2-Section Heavy-Duty Aluminum Tripod with AGILE 18 100mm Fluid Head and E-Z Load Plate steps up to the challenge. This sturdy and durable tripod system is engineered to approach the capabilities of a 150mm-class setup, offering exceptional Electronic Field Production (EFP) and Outside Broadcast (OB) performance with enhanced mobility and affordability.
With a robust aluminum construction, this tripod is not only lightweight but also capable of supporting a substantial load capacity of 40.1 to 50 lbs, making it an ideal choice for heavy-duty filming and photography equipment. Its versatile 2-section design allows for a wide range of height adjustments, extending from 55.1 to 65 inches, ensuring that you can capture the perfect shot from various angles.
The AGILE 18 100mm Fluid Head features a precision CNC-machined selector-dial mechanism, providing 16 increments of adjustable and repeatable counterbalance. This allows for quick and easy setup, typical of ENG (Electronic News Gathering) and EFP-type use. The fluid head's 7/7 + 0 fluid drag mechanism is incrementally adjustable and maintains its smoothness over time, ensuring that even full-zoom pan/tilt-intensive images remain indistinguishable from close-up shots.
Compatibility is key, and the AGILE 18 Fluid Head offers two industry-standard camera mounting interfaces, ensuring seamless integration with nearly any camera support system in use. The E-Z Load feature is particularly conducive to fast-paced 'shoot & scoot' ENG-type use, allowing for quick and efficient camera setups.
Ergonomics and user-friendliness are at the forefront of the design. Operators will appreciate the incremental pan/tilt fluid drag and counterbalance controls, 90-degree opposed pan and tilt brakes, and replaceable pan bar rosettes that extend the fluid head's usability. Additionally, an illuminated bubble level and spare camera plate screws are thoughtfully included, positioned intuitively for those familiar with professional camera support systems.
In summary, the 18AL1HD Heavy-Duty Aluminum Tripod with AGILE 18 Fluid Head is a high-quality, reliable, and versatile solution for professionals seeking a tripod system that can handle the rigors of ENG, EFP, and OB with ease. Whether you're on the move or in the studio, this tripod system is designed to deliver smooth, precise control and long-lasting performance.
