Vinten V4087-0001 - 2-Stage Aluminum 100mm Bowl EFP Tripod with Pozi-Loc Clamping System and 220-Pound Load Capacity in Black Finish

The Vinten V4087-0001 (model 3880-3) is a professional-grade 2-stage aluminum tripod designed to meet the rigorous demands of electronic field production (EFP) and studio broadcast applications. Featuring a 100mm bowl base, this tripod is optimized for use with fluid heads like the Vinten Vision 250, providing robust support for heavy camera rigs with long lenses, prompters, and viewfinders. With a maximum payload capacity of 220 lbs, it offers superior rigidity, strength, and versatility for high-end production environments that demand stability under heavy load conditions.

The tripod features Vinten's patented Pozi-Loc clamping system - a cam-operated mechanism that delivers a quick, secure, and user-intuitive locking action. This system provides a 90° on-off motion with a visual locking indicator, ensuring confidence in every setup. The double extension leg design allows operators to adjust the tripod height from 20.5 inches to 61.9 inches (with an optional spreader), offering flexibility across low- and high-angle shooting configurations. Whether on location or in studio settings, this height range supports a wide array of shot compositions without sacrificing stability or speed of adjustment.

Constructed from anodized tubular aluminum alloy with reinforced thermoplastic moldings and precision-engineered die-cast elements, the V4087-0001 delivers industry-leading torsional rigidity. Its triangular structure and structural integrity provide smooth camera movement and minimal flex, which are critical for achieving top-tier image quality in broadcast production. The integrated spring-loaded transport clip keeps the legs securely together for transport, streamlining mobility between sets or remote locations.

Outfitted with spiked feet for reliable traction on outdoor terrain, the tripod is also compatible with optional ground and mid-level spreaders for additional support. For indoor use or glossy surfaces, a set of three optional anti-skid rubber feet can be added to replace the native spikes. Weighing just 12.79 lbs and folding down to a compact 29.9 inches, the tripod remains portable without compromising its structural strength, making it a dependable choice for professionals working with full-size ENG and studio camera packages.
