Vinten 3881-3 2-Stage Carbon Fibre EFP Pozi-Loc Tripod 150 mm

The 3881-3 is the carbon fibre EFP tripod on a 150 mm bowl, rated to 100 kg. That payload is studio and outside broadcast territory: a full-size head, a box lens and everything hung off the back of the camera.

It covers 52 to 157.1 cm without a spreader at a 5.5 kg working weight, which is light for legs in this class and is the argument for carbon over aluminium here. Pozi-Loc cam clamps, toggle indicators, leg catch for transport, and a ground spreader interface. Ships with its user guide.
