SmallRig AD-50 Max Video Tripod - Carbon Fiber

The SmallRig AD-50 Max Video Tripod's fluid head has a maximum payload capacity of 8 kg.

Thanks to the FreeSpeed one-step locking system, you can lock or unlock two sections of the legs with a single toggle, allowing for very rapid adjustments and setup.

It is designed for digital and film cameras, with a focus on video production. Its 8kg payload and fluid head make it suitable for DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and professional cinema cameras.

Yes, the tripod features ball-jointed feet that allow it to adapt to uneven terrain, providing stable support both indoors and outdoors.

The tripod can extend from a minimum height of 81 cm to a maximum height of 174 cm.

Yes, the newly designed snap-on quick-release plate is compatible with DJI RS series and 501PL quick-release plates.

The tripod legs are constructed from thickened carbon fibre for a balance of lightweight design and robust stability.

Ensure the legs are free from dirt, sand, or debris. Gently wipe the leg tubes and locking mechanism with a damp cloth. If stiffness persists, a small amount of silicone lubricant on the telescoping sections might help, but apply sparingly and wipe off excess.

Check that the fluid head's damping system is properly engaged and adjusted. Ensure the camera's center of gravity is balanced correctly within the head's range, especially if using the counterbalance system. Verify that all locking knobs on the head are sufficiently tightened.

Confirm all leg sections are fully locked. Adjust the ball-jointed feet to ensure maximum contact with the ground, especially on uneven surfaces. Avoid fully extending the legs to their maximum height if stability is compromised, and consider using the mid-level spreader.

Ensure the plate is aligned correctly with the mount before attempting to snap it in. Check for any obstructions or damage on both the plate and the mount. The mechanism may require a firm, decisive motion to engage or disengage.
