Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. With one leg section, what is the footprint measurement?

A: Here are the measurements of P-MTCL-STD: Folded: 100cm Maximum: 175cm

Q: 2. Will this take a Vinten 70 Head?

A: This tripod has a Mitchell mount. The Vinten Vector 70 head has the Four-bolt flat Vinten mount. You will need this adapter to use that head with these legs: B&H# VI31033 (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/97041-REG/Vinten_3103_3_3103_3_Mitchell_4_Bolt_Flat.html/specs)

Q: 3. Would a Dana Dolly Bowl to Mitchell Adapter work with this?

A: The Dana Dolly 100mm Ball to Mitchell Adapter or the Dana Dolly 150mm Ball to Mitchell Adapter should fit within the Proaim Heavy-Duty Cinema Hi-Hat with Octagonal Board (Mitchell).

Q: 4. What plastic case works with this tripod?

A: The Nalpak TP-1440WH 14" Tuffpak Series Hard Tripod Case with Wheels (BH #NATP1440WH) would work well as a hard tripod case for transferring the Proaim Heavy-Duty Mitchell Base Tripod Legs with Mid-Level & Ground Spreaders (Silver).

Q: 5. Can the mid-level spreaders be removed?

A: Yes.

Q: 6. Does this work with the Proaim Alphabet 21' Jib/Crane Arm?

A: Yes, the Proaim Alphabet 21' Jib/Crane Arm works with the Proaim Gravity Heavy-Duty Tripod (Flat Base).

Q: 7. How smooth is the fluid head movement compared to a Manfrotto 502?

A: The prompter people video head is very smooth but it does not have the tension adjustments that are available on the Manfrotto 502 head. If you are satisfied with just having 1 setting for pan/tilt tension this is a great package that is capable of holding almost double the payload of the Manfrotto (The Prompter People can hold up to 30lbs). However for people that like to adjust tension to accommodate super fast or super slow camera movement the adjustability on the Manfrotto head is very useful.

Q: 8. Is it possible to mount an Arri Standard dovetail to this? (Eg: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1421809-REG/smallrig_1463_arri_standard_dovetail_12.html) And/or the Bright Tangerine Left Field Arri Style dovetail plate (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1431279-REG/bright_tangerine_b4003_1008_left_field_arri_dovetail.html) Thanks.

A: possible yes but not ideal as the unit is designed to attach to the Inovativ Horseshoe Mount to support Ronford Baker quick release systems.

Q: 9. will it work with 2016 6 inch celestron NextStar GoTo Schmidt- cassegrain tripod?

A: no this will not fir the celestron NextStar tripod

Q: 10. What size tripod head can I mount on thsi?

A: BH #PRHTMTCL is for a Mitchell Mount head. We also offer BH #PRHTBWL7500 which is for more common 75mm ball heads. https://bhpho.to/3kaPMLe

[Yes] Perfect, although I haven't yet found a nice, padded carrying case for it that is NOT overly long. I use this primarily with a Kessler Pocket Jib (in preference to Kessler's own HD tripod). The combination is absolutely perfect. Pete 5

[Yes] The tripod will be used to support the Glide cam crane. Like that the half bowl can be leveled. Legs not only lock into place but also has pegs to lock legs for added safety, don't need a camera crashing to the ground if a presser lock does not hold. Works great when panning camera, extremely sturdy. Rubber capped legs or can be converted to use spike on legs, reversible nothing to lose as parts go. Any would using a portable jib arm should consider this tripod leg works very good 5

[Aluminum] This is the steadiness and strength I had been seeking. It might be more than I will ever need in a tripod, and that is fine with me. Highly recommend it. 5

[3] Used with a Manfrotto 5 series head, mostly for matte rig work and jib/crane work. Excellent quality, easy to set up and use. 5

Quincy	29/06/2024
[Yes] Greatest Tripod available 5

Carl	26/06/2024
[Aluminum] Based on the weight and specs, I was expecting this tripod to be heavy-duty, but once I had my hands on it, I couldn't wipe the smile from my face. Now when I look at (what was) my main video tripod, it looks like it is built for a child. When I load this up with a crane/jib, I won't have a worry in the world. This thing is a tank. I got the optional Mitchell to 100mm bowl adapter, and that component was also super heavy. I don't know of any tripod that would beat this one in its price range. 5

One Giant Leap	07/06/2024
[Yes] The tripod came ready to go right out of the box! Easy to set up and very sturdy for our jib. 5

[Aluminum] Their gear is always have a solid robust build, I am never disappointed at the craftsmanship while other companies charge 4 times as much. cost and quality is excellent. If you're looking for a heavy duty tripod you will pay like $3000 more for it, this really is the best Tripod I have ever owned and I've owned lots in the past 20 years 5
