About Vinten VB100-FTMS

flowtech™ 100 Carbon Fiber Tripod by Sachtler & Vinten

The flowtech™100 by Sachtler and Vinten is a revolutionary tripod system that’s designed to be the world’s fastest and most efficient stabilization tool. Its innovative design features specialized hinge locks on top of each leg for swift deployment and fuss-free height adjustments, with simultaneous leg adjustment for even faster operation during demanding shoots. This versatile tripod also allows you to shoot extreme angles with its mid-level spreader, which has four locking positions—20°, 46°, 72°, and extended—for a maximum working height of 61.02” and a minimum of 10.24”. The spreader enables the flowtech™100 to be used in tricky spaces and uneven terrain, but it also gives you the option of using dual-spiked feet (for soft surfaces) or quick-release rubber feet (for slippery surfaces). This 9-pound carbon fiber tripod can accommodate equipment payloads up to 66 pounds and ensures maximum portability with an ergonomic flat-leg design for enhanced torsional strength and easier transport, as well as magnetic locks to keep the legs from snapping open during travel. It has a 100mm bowl for use with a variety of ball head systems and three 3/8"-16 female thread mounts for accessory attachment. Rigorously tested in difficult scenarios and working conditions, the award-winning flowtech™100 is highly robust, versatile, and lightweight, making it the perfect tripod for professional photography and videography.

Revolutionise the way you work with the world’s fastest tripod

flowtech™100 by Sachtler and Vinten - a versatile, lightweight tripod that is easier and faster to deploy and adjust than any other tripod. Performance tested in extreme conditions, flowtech™100 is a revolution in tripod technology, giving the camera operator ultimate versatility and improving their workflow. flowtech™100 is a revolutionary set of two-stage carbon fibre tripod legs with quick release brakes, a mid-level spreader, rubber feet and a payload capacity of 30kg (66lb).

DEPLOY IN AN INSTANT

Unique quick release brakes

flowtech™100 features unique quick release brakes located at the top of the tripod that allow camera operators to easily deploy and adjust the tripod in an instant. All the legs of the tripod can be deployed simultaneously and can quickly adjust to the height that you need and the ground’s surface – eliminating the need to bend over or manually adjust multiple brakes on each individual leg.

LIGHTWEIGHT & EAST TO TRANSPORT

New ergonomic carbon-fibre leg design

Carbon fibre profile makes flowtech™75 lightweight and easy to transport. It’s ergonomically designed to comfortably rest on the camera operator’s shoulder while magnetic locks offer an easy, quick method for locking the legs together during transport. Exceptional torsional stiffness ensures that the tripod doesn’t twist during panning movements.

EXTREMELY LOW AND HIGH SHOTS

Versatile Hinge Lock

flowtech comes with a hinge lock mechanism that gives camera operators ultimate versatility. With the ability to be used with or without a spreader. The hinge lock allows the flowtech100 to be deployed as low as 26 cm (10.2in) and as high as 155 cm (61in) when used without a spreader. This effectively eliminates the need to bring a second set of baby legs to each shoot.

Versatile Hinge Lock

SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE

Performance Tested

Tested in the most punishing environments, flowtech excels in sludge, sand and extreme temperatures. Tried in over 30,000 lab-testing cycles – in which the tripod is repeatedly deployed – and 1.5 million clamp operations on the test endurance rig, flowtech surpasses Sachtler and Vinten’s stringent performance targets.
