Rugged Rigidity, Modular by Design
Dominate the Field with the Versa-33
The Versa-33 delivers a solid 58.2" (148 cm) maximum reach with dependable elevation even when the ground beneath you isn't cooperating. Robust Series 3 carbon fiber tubes, a lowered center of gravity, and the SureGrip™ Apex's secure positive-pressure interface suppress joint flex and elevate vibration control, resisting torque and shifting forces that can compromise precision. Conservatively rated for 85 lb (39 kg) and weighing 4.1 lb (1.8 kg) folded to 25.4" (64 cm), it delivers ample overhead for robust professional systems in a travel-ready package.
The patented SureGrip™ Apex swaps between a flat platform, quick-column, leveling base, or 75mm video bowl in under a minute with a standard 5/32" hex key, adapting the same tripod to photography, video, and gimbal workflows.
