Carbon fiber strength, precision engineering, and ultimate versatility for cinematic professionals on location or on set
RRS Cinema Tripods — Rock-Solid Support, Anywhere
The TMC Cinema Tripod features carbon fiber construction for unparalleled on-location or on-set support. With a remarkable load capacity of up to 200 lbs., this tripod collapses into a compact, portable size for easy transport. Crafted with CNC-machined aluminum components, carbon fiber tubes, and a unique leg hinge mechanism, it’s made to provide rock-solid support for RRS FH-7240 fluid heads or any 100mm bowl fluid head. The apex incorporates versatile mounting sockets for accessories like monitor arms, while quarter-turn leg locks ensure quick setup. Legs that drop to touch the ground allow for effortless one-operator setups, and an aluminum spreader enhances stability in any terrain. The spreader's ball joint enables increased tripod articulation, while large knurled knobs and laser-engraved markings ensure precise adjustments. Platform feet offer slip prevention, with built-in stainless steel spikes for added grip on rocky or carpeted surfaces.
Compatible with standard dollies featuring dual spikes, these tripods redefine versatility and stability in cinematic setups.
