Teris CINE-M Heavy-Duty Tripod

Product Overview

The Teris CINE-M Heavy-Duty Tripod is a single-stage carbon fiber tripod rated for payloads up to 300 kg, designed for professional jib systems, large studio broadcast cameras, and heavy cinema camera rigs that exceed the capacity of standard production tripods. Like the CINE-H, the CINE-M uses a 150mm head bowl, making it compatible with the Teris TS300 and TS350 fluid heads and other large-format 150mm bowl heads used in studio and film production. At 9.23 kg, the CINE-M is the lighter of the two CINE heavy-duty models, offering the same high payload rating in a slightly reduced-weight package. It is a strong choice for broadcast studios, live event production rigs, and film productions where a high-capacity, fixed-height carbon fiber tripod is required.

Product Description

The Teris CINE-M provides the same 300 kg payload rating as the CINE-H in a lighter package at 9.23 kg, making it the preferred option when weight savings matter without compromising load capacity. The single-stage carbon fiber legs provide the rigidity required to hold large studio cameras, jib arm assemblies, and fully-rigged cinema packages securely without flex under load. A ground spreader stabilizes the leg spread on studio floors and hard production surfaces, preventing unintended movement during critical shots. The 150mm head bowl is the standard fitting for large professional fluid heads, providing direct compatibility with Teris TS300 and TS350 heads as well as compatible third-party 150mm heads. Carbon fiber construction is chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio, giving the CINE-M greater rigidity per kilogram than aluminum or steel alternatives at this payload class. The CINE-M is optimized for fixed-position shooting scenarios in broadcast studios, large-venue live events, and film production stages where the camera position is established before shooting begins. For productions managing multiple camera positions, the lighter weight of the CINE-M compared to the CINE-H offers a practical advantage when repositioning between setups. The combination of 300 kg rated capacity and 150mm bowl compatibility makes the CINE-M a versatile anchor point for large-format camera systems across a range of professional production contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the CINE-M and the CINE-H?
A: Both are rated at 300 kg payload with a 150mm bowl. The CINE-M weighs 9.23 kg vs. 10.27 kg for the CINE-H. The CINE-M is the lighter option; the CINE-H uses a heavier leg specification.

Q: What fluid heads fit the CINE-M?
A: The CINE-M accepts any head with a 150mm ball base. This includes the Teris TS300 and TS350 fluid heads. It is not directly compatible with 100mm bowl heads without a bowl adapter.

Q: Can the CINE-M support a jib arm system?
A: Yes. The 300 kg payload rating accommodates professional jib arm systems and counterweight assemblies used in studio and film production.

Q: Is the CINE-M height adjustable?
A: The CINE-M is a single-stage tripod. Height adjustment is achieved through leg angle. There are no telescoping leg sections.

Q: Does the CINE-M include a fluid head?
A: No. The CINE-M is sold as a tripod only. Fluid heads are purchased separately.

Q: Is the ground spreader removable?
A: Ground spreader configuration details should be confirmed with Creation Networks at time of purchase for your specific application requirements.

Q: How does the CINE-M compare to standard ENG tripods?
A: Standard ENG tripods are typically rated for 8–15 kg payloads. The CINE-M's 300 kg rating places it in an entirely different category, intended for jib systems, large studio cameras, and heavy cinema configurations.
