Robus RC-5558 Vantage Series 3 Carbon Fiber Tripod with Leveler & Video Head Kit

When your career depends on that next shot, you need a tripod that's much more than just three legs to stand on. Meeting and succeeding that need, we have the RC-5558 Vantage Series 3 Carbon Fiber Tripod, one of a series of tripods from Robus that delivers performance to satiate the most demanding image-makers, regardless of the conditions or terrain in the field. The 10x carbon fiber legs feature wide, stable leg tube diameters. Even at maximum extension of 58.5", these substantial cylinders combine with the tripod's anodized CNC-machined spider to support video or still camera rigs weighing up to 55 lb.

Shooting outdoors can definitely be a challenge, especially when doing macro or close up photography on the ground. But with three variable leg angles of 25, 55, and 85?, plus independent leg spread, the tripod can be splayed out to a minimum height of just 3.7". The tripod's central spider features a lock to loosen the yoke and a safety pull latch that releases the finely machined top plate. This permits interchangeability with the included 75mm video bowl. There's also an optional center column available that extends the RC-5558's maximum height of 73.25".

A quarter turn of the tripod's twist-locks retracts the 4-section legs to a reasonable folded length of 22.5". Two of the legs have tactile rubber grips that ensure a secure hold as you carry the support from one place to another. Additionally, a 3/8"-16 socket at the end of each leg allows you to swap out the standard feet for the included spikes or wide rubber feet to accommodate different terrains and surfaces.

With a possible 73" reach, a 55 lb weight capacity, and a folded length of less than 23", the tripod's notable stability and performance-based features ensure its place as a favorite go-to-support solution for professionals and dedicated enthusiasts.

The Magnus FBVH-500 Video Head with Flat Base is designed for shooters using cameras weighing up to 15 lb. It has a flat base that screws onto any standard 3/8"-16 tripod screw and gives you all the features of an advanced video head for performing professional cinematic moves. You can mount the included pan handle to either side of the head so you can create smooth and precise camera motion with either hand. The FBVH-500 head features a spring-loaded counterbalance with a tilt range of 170? (+90 to -80?), and it provides 360? panning rotation with adjustable fluid drag on both the pan and tilt axes.

The sliding QR plate features a snap-in function that allows you to quickly insert it into the head from above for effortless mounting and dismounting of large camera/lens combinations. And the plate's locking feature prevents it from accidentally slipping out of the clamp. The head attaches to a tripod via a 3/8"-16 thread. It also provides both 3/8"16 and 1/4"-20 auxiliary threads to attach accessories such as an articulating arm, LED, or microphone.

The Robus 75mm Half Ball Leveling Adapter is designed for Robus Vantage Series 3 and 5 tripods. It has a robust aluminum design and allows you to mount any 3/8"-16 flat base tripod head onto the Series 3/5 tripods, which have a 75mm bowl. The adapter features a 3/8"-16 mounting screw and a bubble level to ensure your camera is aligned with the horizon. In addition to the mounting screw, three set screws provide security for any mounted head, while the bottom handle features rubber grips for better handling when you level out your load.
