SmallRig FT-S303 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with Fluid Head

When you're seeking a reliable and versatile tripod for professional outdoor videography, the SmallRig FT-S303 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with Fluid Head is an exceptional choice. This carbon fiber tripod kit, model FT-S303 4643, is engineered to meet the demands of videographers who require both portability and stability. The tripod's legs are designed with a FreeSpeed-Twist quick-tightening mechanism, enabling swift and secure setup by simply tightening double knobs to lock all three sections.

With an operating altitude ranging from 27cm (10.6 inches) to 150cm (59.0 inches), this tripod offers flexibility for various shooting angles and perspectives. When not in use, it compacts to a storage length of 74cm (29.1 inches), making it easy to transport. The 30mm diameter legs are crafted to maintain a lightweight profile while ensuring robust stability and impressive load-bearing capacity.

The tripod is equipped with a built-in bubble level and a 65mm bowl base, facilitating precise leveling and frame management. Included in the kit is a compact fluid head featuring a damping system, which allows for smooth camera panning. With the center of gravity height set at 50mm, the fluid head's panning and pre-set fixed counterbalance system provide precise control for cameras or rigs weighing up to 4kg, while the video head itself can support up to 6kg (13.2 lbs).

The innovative snap-on quick-release plate mount offers a more efficient mounting solution compared to traditional slide-on designs. It is compatible with DJI RS series quick-release plates and 501PL quick-release plates, allowing for seamless transitions between stabilizer and tripod shooting. Additionally, the tripod kit includes 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes for attaching accessories such as magic arms, along with a built-in flat head screw for easy camera installation and removal.

Weighing only 2.9kg (6.4 lbs), this tripod is designed for ease of transport without sacrificing performance. Please note that before shooting, ensure the head and tripod locking mechanisms are secure. Avoid using the tripod in sandy or dusty environments to prevent potential damage. The maximum payload of the head is 6kg (13.2 lbs) when the leg angle is at 23 degrees and the height is at 150cm (59.0 inches). The tripod's maximum payload, with the head detached, is 15kg (33 lbs) at a leg angle of 23 degrees and a height of 140cm (55.1 inches). Keep in mind that the weight capacity of the tripod head may vary depending on the type of equipment, lenses used, accessories attached, and changes in the center of gravity.
