Safely support your heavy cinema camera rig with the StediFast HD 100/75mm Two-Stage Aluminum Tripod from SCG. Designed for use with a separately available fluid head, this lightweight two-stage, three-section tripod features a 100mm bowl and includes a 75mm bowl adapter for support for a wide range of heads. It supports heavy payloads up to 77 lb and offers a working height range from 25 to 63". A fast, single flip-lever lock is used to lock all three legs into place.

For greater rigidity with heavier loads, the aluminum tripod legs include a mid-level spreader for support. When removing the spreader, the legs can spread for a height down to 12" for low-angle shots. The StediFast also comes equipped with wide, removable rubber feet that enable you to use the tripod safely on flat or uneven surfaces. When they are removed, you can utilize the spiked feet to keep stability on soft and grippy surfaces. It folds down to 30" in length for easy transport.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Do you sell just the quick release plate for the GVM 7017D Tripod?

A: The GVM 7017D Aluminum Video Tripod with Fluid Head System uses a Manfrotto style plate of which we have many offerings.

Q: 2. Does the fluid head included with this tripod have separate pan & tilt tension adjustments, or only locks?The fluid head in these images appears to be the Magnus VPH-20, which has separate pan & tilt tension knobs. However, I don't see that feature listed in the specifications for the fluid head included with this tripod.

A: There is some degree of tension adjustment, but it's really had to adjust in that respect. In practice, the controls act more like locks. The tilt action does have a separate knob to adjust tension, but it's really hard to turn that knob, so it's not something you'll want to change a lot. You can set the tension for the camera you'll use, then pretty much want to leave it alone. That is for the tilt, there is no separate tension adjustment for the pan, just the one knob that may allow you to add some tension, but it's not very precise in that respect, mainly just good to lock the pan movement. This tripod is functional for the price, but as with anything you'll get what you pay for. For the price, this is a good tripod, it will do the job and holds up pretty well with use. But don't expect it to function as well as tripods that cost 3-4x as much, that just isn't realistic.

Q: 3. I was looking at the tripod and noticed there is a crank to raise and lower the center column. Is that removable or do you have to use it every time? It seems a bit cumbersome.

A: As far as I can tell, the hand crank is NOT removable. You do NOT need to raise the center post unless you wish to. The hand crank has NOT been an interference to me.

Q: 4. Can the keg spreader be removed?

A: Yes, the mid-level spreaders on the SmallRig AD-50Lite Lightweight Aluminum Alloy Video Tripod System can be removed.

Q: 5. Is this head compatable with Manfrotto camera plates?

A: No, Miller tripods do not use Manfrotto plates.

Q: 6. I noticed the VT-400 and VT-3000 have the same base price. Any thoughts on why I should buy one versus the other?

A: Stability, size, and height. The VT-3000 is heavier-duty but also a little larger and heavier.

Q: 7. What's the advantage of this tripod over the AD-01? The specs look very similar.

A: I think the most valuable difference is have a single lock leg adjustment system like much more expensive tripods like Sachtler. You only have one lock per leg to unlock before adjusting height instead of having to undo two locks on each leg. Worth the extra $ to me.

Q: 8. Is there a way to convert the spike leg tips to rubber?

A: No there isn't. GVM does not make a rubber foot for this set of tripod legs. when using it on a flat surface you should use the ground spreader.

Q: 9. Am I able to shoot vertical with this tripad? I do a lot of vertical Video...

A: No you need a l bracket to be able to do a vertical Video

Q: 10. How low and how high can the camera go on this tripod?

A: Height Range on this tripod is: 35" to 73.2"
