The Ace XL MK II Fluid Head provides outstanding control over your camera's movements, with 9 steps of counterbalance and 3 steps of pan/tilt drag, ensuring smooth and precise framing of every shot. The fluid head's +90° to -75° tilt range allows for flexible camera angles, and the slide-in balancing plate provides a 4.1" adjustment range, offering quick and easy balancing for various camera configurations. An illuminated bubble level ensures perfect alignment for each setup, while the detachable pan bar enhances ease of use, providing flexibility for both left- and right-handed operation.

Designed to support a wide range of camera configurations, the 75/2 CF MK II Carbon Fiber Tripod features a 75mm bowl and three 3/8"-16 mounting threads for attaching your fluid head. With a load capacity of 44.1 lbs, this tripod is sturdy enough for various equipment setups, from lightweight camcorders to more robust rigs. The tripod's height range of 16.93" to 62.2" with the ground-level spreader or 24.8" to 60.6" with the mid-level spreader (sold separately) provides excellent flexibility for different shooting environments. The carbon fiber construction ensures the tripod remains lightweight while maintaining strength, making it ideal for location shoots where both portability and stability are essential.

For stability and ease of use on uneven surfaces, the included Mid-Level Spreader helps keep the tripod legs securely in place, even in challenging environments. The spreader's locking clamps allow the legs to be adjusted for a variety of angles, and it offers a practical solution for getting the camera above crowds in press conferences or live events. The rubber feet, included as a set of three, provide excellent traction on various surfaces, ensuring your tripod remains steady in any setting.
