Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig FreeBlazer CT195 Aluminum Video Tripod is designed for photographers, videographers, and vloggers seeking a stable, portable, and versatile support solution. Its key benefit lies in its robust 5kg load capacity combined with a lightweight, compact design for easy transport. A potential consideration is that the maximum height might be limiting for very tall users or specific shooting angles.

Troubleshooting

Tripod feels unstable

Ensure all leg locks are fully tightened. Check that the camera and head weight does not exceed the 5kg capacity. Ensure the tripod is on a stable surface and leg angles are set appropriately.

Legs won't extend or lock

Clean the leg sections, removing any dust or debris. Check for obstructions around the twist locks. Ensure you are twisting the locks in the correct direction.

Quick-release plate is difficult to attach/detach

Ensure the plate is correctly aligned with the tripod head mount. Check for any debris on the plate or in the mount. Release the safety lock on the head fully before attempting to attach or detach the plate.

Monopod conversion is loose

Make sure the leg is securely attached to the center column and all locking mechanisms are tightened. Ensure the components are clean and free of debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent portability due to its lightweight design and compact folded size.
  • Versatile functionality with monopod conversion and vertical shooting capabilities.
  • Sturdy build suitable for a good range of camera setups.
  • User-friendly adjustments for quick setup and changes.
  • Includes a convenient carrying case for travel.

Cons

  • Maximum height may not be sufficient for all professional needs.
  • The minimum height is relatively high, potentially limiting low-angle shots without accessories.
  • Aluminum construction, while light, might be less rigid than carbon fiber in extreme conditions.
  • The locking mechanisms require careful tightening for maximum stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Extend the legs by loosening the twist locks on each section.
  2. Adjust the leg angle using the angle selectors.
  3. Attach your camera to the quick-release plate and then to the tripod head.
  4. Use the center column adjustment (if applicable) for fine-tuning height.
  5. For monopod conversion, detach one leg and attach the center column to its top.

Compatibility:

  • The tripod is compatible with cameras featuring a standard 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 mounting screw via the quick-release plate. Ensure your camera's weight does not exceed the 5kg load capacity.
  • It supports most standard tripod heads. Check the mounting thread size of your head.

Care:

  • Wipe the tripod legs and body with a soft, damp cloth to clean.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check and tighten leg locks and any screws to maintain stability.
  • Store in the provided carrying case when not in use to protect from dust and damage.
