Teris TS1060CF Short Tripod

Product Overview

The Teris TS1060CF is a single-stage carbon fiber short tripod built for low-angle camera work with heavy rigs. Its 100mm bowl and 50 kg payload rating accommodate large broadcast and cinema camera configurations, while the carbon fiber construction keeps the overall weight at 3 kg. Lever-locking leg sections and a built-in ground spreader provide stable, repeatable positioning for ground-level and low shots. The TS1060CF pairs with the TS-S45 mid-level spreader and is compatible with any 100mm fluid head.

Product Description

Low-angle coverage is a consistent requirement in broadcast sports, documentary, and narrative production, and the TS1060CF is designed to handle that demand with professional-grade support. Carbon fiber legs reduce the tripod weight to 3 kg without compromising the 50 kg payload capacity, making this short tripod genuinely portable even when fully rigged. The 100mm bowl pairs with Teris TS100 series heads and is compatible with any third-party 100mm fluid head. Single-stage lever-locking legs extend to the operating height quickly and lock with positive, rattle-free action. The built-in ground spreader maintains consistent leg spread on smooth surfaces, and the tripod is compatible with the optional Teris TS-S45 mid-level spreader. Carbon fiber resists flex and vibration transmission under load, contributing to image stability at low frame rates and longer focal lengths. The TS1060CF is well-suited to productions that move cameras frequently between standard and low-angle positions, where a dedicated short tripod is more efficient than fully collapsing standard legs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the TS1060CF and the TS1060AL?
A: Both use a 100mm bowl and 50 kg payload rating. The CF model uses carbon fiber for lower weight; the AL uses aluminum at a lower price.

Q: Can this tripod be used at standard camera height?
A: The TS1060CF is designed for low-angle positions. For standard operating height, the TS1610AL or TS416AL are more appropriate choices.

Q: Is a mid-level spreader included?
A: No. The tripod includes a ground spreader. The TS-S45 mid-level spreader is sold separately and is compatible with this model.
