Sachtler Flowtech 75 MS - 2-Stage Carbon Fiber 75mm Bowl Tripod with Mid-Level Spreader and 44-Pound Load Capacity in Black Finish

The Sachtler Flowtech 75 MS Carbon Fiber Tripod with Mid-Level Spreader is a lightweight, yet incredibly robust support system designed to accommodate a variety of Sachtler 75mm fluid heads. With a load capacity of 44 pounds, this two-stage, three-section tripod is ideal for professional cinematographers, providing stable support for heavy camera rigs while remaining portable and easy to use. Constructed from high-strength carbon fiber, the Flowtech 75 MS tripod delivers excellent torsional stability, ensuring that the legs resist twisting when panning the fluid head, which is crucial for smooth, precise camera movements. Weighing only 6.4 pounds, it is a highly versatile solution for both studio and field applications, able to handle a broad range of shooting environments.

One of the standout features of the Flowtech 75 MS is the innovative leg design, which eliminates the traditional single or double carbon fiber tube configuration. Instead, the legs are shaped for improved torsional strength, providing additional stability during movement. Each leg is equipped with a single clamping lever that locks and unlocks the sections. This design makes adjustments quick and easy, with each leg extending or retracting independently, providing the flexibility to adjust the height of the tripod without affecting the other two legs. The legs also feature a locking mechanism that allows them to be positioned at one of three angles when used without the mid-level spreader, enabling wide leg positioning for low shots without compromising stability.

The tripod's included mid-level spreader allows for precise control of the tripod's leg spread, preventing the legs from flying apart and providing additional stability, especially when working on uneven terrain, such as rocks or stairs. The spreader ensures that the tripod remains stable and level, making it ideal for use in demanding field applications. For convenience, the spreader is detachable, giving you the option to work with or without it, depending on your shooting needs. When used with the mid-level spreader, the tripod's dual spiked feet provide extra grip, especially when working on soft ground. The removable rubber feet snap onto the spikes for use on hard or delicate surfaces, protecting both the tripod and the working environment.

The Flowtech 75 MS tripod's ergonomic design and easy-to-use leg lock system significantly reduce the wear and tear on the operator, making setup and adjustments more efficient. The single flip lock mechanism allows you to adjust all three leg sections from one location, eliminating the need to bend down to adjust each leg lock individually. This feature not only saves time but also makes the tripod more user-friendly in dynamic shooting environments.

When it's time to pack up, the tripod's legs can be easily locked together using the magnetic transport lock, which ensures that the legs stay securely closed during transport. The flowtech 75 MS is compatible with various Sachtler 75mm fluid heads and can be used with a wide range of camera rigs, from lightweight setups to heavier, more complex rigs. Its compact size, combined with the rugged design and easy transport features, makes the Flowtech 75 MS a go-to tripod for any production that demands stability, portability, and reliability in any environment.
