The Sachtler Flowtech 100 MS Carbon Fiber Tripod with Mid-Level Spreader is a professional-grade support system designed for filmmakers, videographers, and content creators who require a lightweight yet highly durable tripod capable of supporting medium to heavy camera setups. With a maximum payload capacity of 66 lbs, this tripod is ideal for a variety of camera rigs, including camcorders, DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and digital cine-style cameras. Its innovative design ensures exceptional stability while offering flexibility in height adjustments, making it suitable for both studio and field applications.

Weighing just 9 pounds with its spreader and rubber feet, the Flowtech 100 MS is remarkably lightweight considering its impressive load capacity. The tripod features two-stage carbon fiber legs, known for their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring high torsional stability during panning and tilting. The legs are designed with a unique quick-release locking mechanism located at the top of each leg, which eliminates the need to stoop when adjusting the tripod height. This ergonomic design allows all three legs to be deployed simultaneously, quickly finding their individual levels on uneven ground.

The tripod offers a height range from 20.47 inches to 61.02 inches when using the included mid-level spreader. When the spreader is removed, the height range can extend from a minimum of 10.24 inches, making the tripod versatile for a wide range of shooting angles, from low-angle shots to standing positions. The Flowtech 100 MS is equipped with a flexible hinge design that enables the legs to adjust freely or be locked at three fixed angles (20°, 46°, and 72°), providing further versatility for various shooting scenarios. This feature also reduces the need to carry additional accessories like baby legs, making it an ideal all-in-one solution for most applications.

For added stability, the tripod is equipped with dual-spiked feet, which provide extra grip on soft ground like dirt, sand, or grass. Additionally, the quick-release rubber feet can be attached to the dual spikes for use on delicate or slippery surfaces, making it suitable for a variety of environments. The tripod's independent leg adjustment ensures that the legs remain stable even on uneven terrain, including stairs or rocky ground, allowing for precise control over your setup.

Transporting the Flowtech 100 MS is made easy with the included flowtech carry handle, which allows you to carry the tripod comfortably with one hand. The tripod also features magnetic leg locks that securely snap the legs together for travel, and these locks can be quickly released when setting up the tripod. Whether you are shooting in the studio or outdoors, this tripod is designed for quick setups, smooth operation, and dependable performance in challenging environments.

The Sachtler Flowtech 100 MS Carbon Fiber Tripod is an excellent choice for professionals who demand a lightweight, yet sturdy support system that offers quick adjustments, exceptional stability, and versatility in various shooting conditions.
