The Pro Video Carbon Fiber Tripod with 100mm Bowl & Fluid Head from SHAPE is a two-stage carbon fiber tripod for photographers and camera operators using cameras and accessories weighing up to 33 lb. With an adjustable height range between 31 and 66.75", the ST15 is a sturdy tripod system with a smooth fluid head that offers a +90/-70° tilt range and a full 360° pan range easily adjustable using the integrated aluminum ratchet knobs.

Solid aluminum clamps secure the tripod at the desired height, and the camera plate has a travel range of 2.36" for proper balancing of the camera, with 12 steps divided into two gears for tilting and four steps on a single gear for panning. The included ground spreader may be removed to reveal aluminum spikes for use when shooting on slippery or icy surfaces. Adjust each leg independently when working on uneven or rocky terrain, and the 100mm bowl base allows the head to be loosened easily for quick leveling. The tripod system comes with a padded carry bag for safe transport.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does anyone has experience using this tripod with Manfrotto 500BALLSH (100mm half-ball, short handle) part #MA500BSH? My concern is that Benro 100HB 100mm half-ball part #BEBL100 has a longer handle. Could not find the handle length info.

A: The Manfrotto 500BALLSH 100mm Half-Ball with Short Locking Handle will work fine with this tripod, BH #MA500BSH. https://bhpho.to/3sGhKmM

Q: 2. Does this package contains Mid-Level Spreader, if not what Mid-Level Spreader is recommended?

A: This Tripod comes with a Floor Spreader. At this time we are not aware of any Mid-Level Spreaders that are compatible with this unit. If you need help finding a tripod that will work with a Mid-Level Spreader instead feel free to email us at provideo@bhphoto.com for additional assistance.

Q: 3. can you swap for mid spreaders?

A: The version of the SHAPE Pro Video Carbon Fiber Tripod with 100mm Bowl & Fluid Head (33 lb Payload) that offers a mid spreader in the package is the SHAPE Pro Video Carbon Fiber Tripod with 100mm Bowl & Fluid Head (33 lb Payload). See the link below: https://bhpho.to/3HsxQZV

Q: 4. Is it possible to order an additional pan arm for this tripod head?

A: That is considered a replacement part by the manufacturer. Please contact them directly. CAME-TV Website http://www.came-tv.com/ Email americas@came-tv.com

Q: 5. Can the spreaders be swapped out for mid level spreaders on this model?

A: The SHAPE ST15 Pro Video Carbon Fiber Tripod with 100mm Bowl & Fluid Head (33 lb Payload) has a mid-level spreader option that you can add to this kit. SHAPE Mid-Level Spreader with Rubber Feet for ST15 & ST20 Tripods BH #SHMLSF

Q: 6. I would prefer to have a flip lock than a twist lock, but how is this locking mechanism? How many turns do you need to do to open it and securely lock it? Do you recommend these legs for light & heavy payloads?

A: It should only take one rotation to lock and unlock.

Q: 7. Hello, is the 100mm bowl compatible with a sachtler 100mm head? I have the sachtler DV 12 SB 100mm head.

A: Yes, a 100mm ball head like the Sachtler DV 12SB Fluid Head should work fine with these tripod legs.https://bhpho.to/2AJbhA8

Q: 8. What is the plate that this tripod uses, because putting the Manfrotto plate is not possible? The clamp on the tripod head is not wide enough for the Manfrotto plates to slide in.

A: The plate style of the CAME-TV 701B is a custom design. The best way to convert the plate style to Manfrotto would be to add this QR adapter. The adapter mounts to the CAME-TV plate and converts it to a Manfrotto 501PL style. https://bhpho.to/3lMNG6A

Q: 9. Does it have Drag for Pan and Tilt? If so, is it continuous or stepped?

A: The CAME-TV 701B Carbon Fiber Video Tripod with Fluid Bowl Head provides smooth drag, pan and tilt for video capture.

Q: 10. Does the case have a backpack strap? Or is it shoulder strap?

A: The carry bag has a shoulder strap.

[Yes] This tripod can easily hold my FX3 with cage and battery- the tripod is not heavy and has a good quality feel to it. With the threaded holes on each side, I can attach additional accessories. Easy to carry around with the bag that comes with it. 5

[Yes] Seems solid and works as expected. Ground spreader is a little wonky but works. Good that it also comes with a mid-level spreader and feet. 5

[Yes] Purchased these sticks in Feb 2022 along with the CX10 head. Great range in height. Very stiff at any setting. Love getting a 100mm set of sticks for less than 6 pounds. A little awkward raising the height with camera attached. I extend the bottom sections first almost all the way... then it is easier to do adjustments on the top section without bending down too much or holding the tripod low with risk of camera tip. If a large change is needed, it is easy to pop off the camera with the side load plate of the CX head, adjust and pop it back on. I considered the flow tech system for adjustability... but the 75mm Vinten or Sachtler were as much as the 100mm Miller. The 100 mm flow tech was almost double. I love not needing a spreader. Remarkably stable sticks... and there is just something about a pan with a 100mm head that can't be accomplished with a 75mm. 5

[Quick Release] Have used this tripod a couple of times since I received it. Legs are very smooth rising and lowering with a weight of a camera on it. 100mm bowl with illuminated light makes it super easy to level the camera. 6 levels of pan and tilt friction gives you great creative control of how you can smoothly move the camera to capture your vision. Top plate sliding also lets you balance your front to back weight. Everything works perfectly to make it a very solid tripod purchase. I highly recommend this tripod to anyone looking to hold something more than just a DSLR. 5

[Carbon Fiber] This an amazing tripod for the price, the tripod head feels sturdy and holds a fully kitted ARRI Amira without a problem. It's very similar to the Sachtler Video 18. The legs aren't the most intuitive (no mid level spreader available) and they won't lock without the ground spreader. But might as well grab some Flowtech legs and then you're all set! 5

[Flip Lock] This Shape tripod turned out to be a great solution for my cinema camera and can withstand quite a bit of weight while still holding firm. The build quality is excellent and works well with heavy zoom lenses mounted on cinema cameras. Highly recommend. 5

Gabriel	05/08/2024
[Quick Release] I did some quick research, since I never heard of this brand, and couldn't find many reviews online. Made in China, so I thought it might be a little cheap and flimsy, but for the price I thought it was worth it to take a chance. I was surprised beyond words. It's as good or better than other tripods I've worked with, including Sachtler and Miller. 5

Neal	14/07/2024
[Quick Release] For years I've been using Miller, Sachtler, Manfrotto tripods... and recently purchased this beauty and have been nothing but impressed! The build quality is top notch for the price and despite being so heavy duty it is quite light and does everything I want it to. This would easily rank higher in my opinion than other tripods around the $1k mark. 5

[Fluid Head] Best tripod i ever owned, incredibly stable and smooth! 5

[+90° to -70°] I was looking for heavy duty tripod for my Alexa, it weighs about 35-40lbs with all the accessories on it. This was the only option other than spending over 10k on oConnor Tripod. I was my suspicions because of cheap price but it turned out great. Amazing head that holds my camera without any trouble, great leg with easy pull setup. I recommend it. 5
