Teris CINE-H Heavy-Duty Tripod

Product Overview

The Teris CINE-H Heavy-Duty Tripod is a single-stage carbon fiber tripod designed to support professional jib arms, heavy camera rigs, and large broadcast payloads up to 300 kg, making it the highest-capacity tripod in the Teris CINE series. Built around a 150mm head fitting, the CINE-H pairs directly with Teris TS300 and TS350 fluid heads and other large-format 150mm bowl heads for studio, stage, and film production environments. Its carbon fiber construction delivers high structural rigidity while keeping overall system weight lower than comparable steel-frame alternatives. The CINE-H is the go-to tripod for cinematographers, broadcast engineers, and rigging crews who need a fixed-height, high-capacity camera support solution for demanding production applications.

Product Description

The Teris CINE-H is engineered for production environments where the camera support system carries extreme loads — heavy studio broadcast cameras, fully-rigged cinema packages, jib arm systems, and remote head configurations that exceed the capacity of standard ENG tripods. The 300 kg payload rating provides a substantial safety margin when working with large jib arms and counterweight systems. The single-stage carbon fiber leg design offers a fixed operational height, which is appropriate for studio and stage installations where consistent camera height is planned in advance. A ground spreader provides horizontal leg stabilization, distributing load and preventing leg spread on smooth studio floors and outdoor hard surfaces. The 150mm head bowl accepts Teris TS-series large fluid heads including the TS300 and TS350, as well as compatible third-party 150mm heads, making the CINE-H a straightforward integration into existing large-format camera support inventories. Carbon fiber construction reduces the overall tripod weight to 10.27 kg compared to equivalent-capacity steel alternatives, which matters when transporting and repositioning the system on set. The CINE-H's design prioritizes stability and load capacity over the adjustability features found on smaller ENG tripods, making it a dedicated solution for high-payload, fixed-position shooting scenarios. It is particularly well suited for broadcast studios, large-venue live event production, and film production stages where camera positions are pre-planned.

Key Features

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What fluid heads are compatible with the CINE-H?
A: The CINE-H accepts any fluid head with a 150mm ball base, including the Teris TS300 and TS350 fluid heads. It is not compatible with 100mm bowl heads without a bowl adapter.

Q: What is the difference between the CINE-H and the CINE-M?
A: Both share the same 300 kg payload rating and 150mm bowl. The CINE-H weighs more (10.27 kg vs. 9.23 kg for the CINE-M), which reflects differences in leg diameter and structural specification. The CINE-H is the heavier-duty option in the pair.

Q: Can the CINE-H support a jib arm?
A: Yes. The 300 kg payload rating is specifically suited for jib arm systems and counterweight configurations used in studio and film production.

Q: Is the CINE-H height adjustable?
A: The CINE-H is a single-stage tripod without telescoping leg sections. Operational height is set by leg angle. For variable-height applications, consider a two-stage tripod from the Teris lineup.

Q: Does the CINE-H include a fluid head?
A: No. The CINE-H is a tripod only. Fluid heads are sold separately. It is designed to pair with Teris TS300, TS350, or other 150mm bowl-compatible heads.

Q: What surfaces is the ground spreader designed for?
A: The ground spreader is suitable for smooth studio floors and firm outdoor surfaces. It provides lateral stabilization to prevent leg spread under heavy load conditions.

Q: Is the CINE-H suitable for outdoor production?
A: The CINE-H is primarily designed for studio and stage environments where surface conditions are controlled. For outdoor use, ensure the ground surface is firm enough to support the leg tips and spreader under full payload.
