Reinventing the Professional Tripod:
Sachtler and Vinten's flowtech 75
On any on-location shoot, the tripod is the most critical piece of equipment that is often taken
for granted, since the operator has more interaction with the camera and fluid head than with
the legs supporting the gear...

ut the tripod's importance can't be
overstated; it's often a major factor in
an operator's ability to set up for a shoot as
quickly and efficiently as possible.
Sachtler® and Vinten®, both Vitec Group
brands and global industry leaders in camera
supports for more than 100 years, recently
set out to invent the next evolution in tripod
technology and transform the work of camera
operators. The result of that joint effort is

flowtech 75 features quick release brakes

flowtech™ - an all-new, multi award-winning
carbon-fibre camera tripod technology with
versatile height range, exceptional torsional
stiffness, and the industry's easiest setup.
flowtech is designed to simply accelerate the
workflows of camera operators on any type of
broadcast, film, or video project, and in every
type of remote production environment.
Since its launch last autumn, flowtech has
garnered an impressive array of awards
including a prestigious IABM BaM Award
at this year's NAB Show. And now, Sachtler
and Vinten is showcasing at stand 6J2-08,
flowtech technology with the flowtech 75
tripod, compatible with all major 75-millimeter
fluid heads.
With the world's fastest-deploying legs,
unique quick release brakes, and easy-adjust
levers, flowtech 75 enables camera operators
to set up and begin using the tripod in an
instant. The two-stage legs come with an

easy-to-remove midlevel spreader, rubber
feet, and a payload capacity of 20 kilograms
(44 pounds). Conveniently located near the
top of the tripod, the quick-release brakes
enable legs to be deployed simultaneously
and adjust automatically to the ground's
surface.
flowtech 75 can be deployed as low as
26cm (10 inches) and as high as 153cm (60
inches) without the detachable spreader, and
between 63cm (25 inches) to 157cm (62
inches) with the spreader. A unique hinge-lock
mechanism allows users to capture extremely
low, ground-level shots, removing the need
to bring a second set of "baby legs" to each
shoot.
Lightweight and easy to transport, flowtech
75 can be carried comfortably on the camera
operator's shoulder, with magnetic locks
keeping the legs stable during transport.
Plus, flowtech now features two optional
