Professional cinematography equipment advancements directly impact the efficiency and quality of field production for news and documentary crews.
Libec has announced new Q30B/Q50B lightweight, high-load-capacity tripods that feature a new quick-deploy system. The tripods will be available sometime in October.
The Q30B is a 75mm ball-compatible tripod, while the Q50B is for 100mm ball heads. The tripods were specifically designed for run-and-gun and fast shooting environments such as ENG and documentaries.
Both models support a maximum load capacity of 45kg / 99.21 lb. The Q30B weighs 2.9kg / 6.39 lbs, and the Q50B weighs 3.0kg / 6.61 lbs.
The new, patent-pending Quick Deploy System works by holding the standard carrying handle with one hand and moving the Deploy Ring in the center of the spreader up or down with the other hand. This allows users to open or close the spreader and unlock the upper pipe.
