Ikan 2-Stage Carbon Fiber 100mm Fluid Head Tripod Kit, 39.6 lbs Payload, with Counterbalance and Drag (E-Image)

Camera support only has one job, holding the shot steady while the operator does something else with their hands - pan, tilt, walk, reframe. Payload capacity, leg or column travel, and how fast it goes from case to locked-off are what actually matter on a working set.

This one also offers 0-9 Counter Balance Settings, 1/4"- 20 and 3/8"-16 Threaded Accessory Mounts, and separate Pan/Tilt Locks.
