This sturdy and durable tripod is designed to offer superior mobility and affordability, rivaling the capabilities of 150mm-class equipment for Electronic Field Production (EFP) and Outside Broadcasting (OB).

The AGILE 18/18S fluid head is equipped with a 7/7 + 0 fluid drag mechanism, which is incrementally adjustable and repeatable. This robust mechanism provides smooth, uniform fluid drag that remains consistent over time and usage. The high level of fluid drag at higher increments allows experienced operators to capture full-zoom pan/tilt-intensive images that are indistinguishable from close-up shots.

The AGILE 18 with E-Z LOAD is compatible with the spring-loaded, capture-type camera mounting interface, facilitating fast setup for 'shoot & scoot' ENG-type use. The AGILE 18S with S-LOC provides a greater front-to-rear balance adjustment range, accommodating exceptionally front-heavy or back-heavy payloads.
Experienced operators will appreciate the familiar ergonomics of incremental pan/tilt fluid drag and counterbalance controls, distinguishable 90-degree opposed pan and tilt brakes, and replaceable pan bar rosettes for extended fluid head usability. Additional user-friendly features include an illuminated bubble level, spare camera plate screws, and more. All controls are conveniently located where experienced operators expect them, eliminating the need to retrain 'muscle memory'. This high-quality, reliable tripod is an essential tool for any professional photographer or videographer.
