It's one thing to shoot an occasional home video on something with three legs and a "fluid-effect" head. However, if you happen to do it every day for a living, it is quite a different situation. Conditions may vary from live reporting in bad weather to press conferences on polished wood floors, and your shots must look good, reliably. This calls for something of a much higher caliber--something like the Libec LS-100(2A) Professional 2-Stage Aluminum Tripod System.
The foundation of the LS-100(2A) is the robust T103 2-stage aluminum alloy tripod with dual-tube construction. Rotary clamps firmly lock each section in place regardless of temperature fluctuations. The hard rubber feet which terminate each leg stand firmly alone, or locked into the included SP-5 ground-level spreader. For transport, a convenient mechanism quickly hooks all three legs together when collapsed.
Standing tall on the 100mm leveling bowl, the H100 fluid head includes one PH-7 pan arm, but has a second rosette for dual or left-handed configurations. For varying lens and camera combinations, the continuously variable counterbalance and sliding camera plate provide finger-tip handling up to the load limit of 55 lbs (25kg). Whip pans, slow motion sequences--no problem. Continuously variable true fluid drag provides precisely the right amount of dampening you need. Finally, if you dread mounting a fluid head in the dark amid a web of cables and under sheets of driving rain, you'll find inner peace with the illuminated bubble level shining brightly with a ruby glow in your sea of chaos.
As a working professional in the field, you demand strength, versatility, and reliability from your field kit. With the Libec LS-100(2A), you'll find that and more from spreader to wedge plate, backed with the iron-clad Libec 3-year warranty.
