Teris TS1610AL 2-Stage Aluminum Tripod

Product Overview

The Teris TS1610AL is a heavy-duty two-stage aluminum tripod designed for large broadcast cameras, cinema rigs, and jib systems. Built around a 150mm bowl mount and rated to 50 kg payload, it provides a stable, adjustable platform for demanding ENG, studio, and field production work. Two-stage leg extension gives operators precise height control without sacrificing rigidity. The TS1610AL pairs with Teris 150mm fluid heads and accepts the TS-S45 mid-level spreader for added lateral stability.

Product Description

When your camera rig exceeds what lighter tripods can safely support, the TS1610AL delivers the structural integrity required for serious broadcast and cinema applications. The two-stage aluminum leg construction allows height adjustment across a wide range, with lever-locking leg sections that lock down firmly and stay put under load. The 150mm bowl accommodates large fluid heads common in high-payload production setups. A built-in ground spreader keeps leg spread consistent on flat surfaces, and the tripod is compatible with the optional TS-S45 mid-level spreader for elevated shooting positions. The TS1610AL is engineered to handle the torque and weight of full-size ENG cameras, large zoom lenses, and follow-focus systems. Aluminum construction offers a durable, cost-effective alternative to carbon fiber tripods when weight savings are less critical than budget. The tripod feet grip a variety of surfaces including concrete, wood flooring, and outdoor terrain. This tripod is an efficient choice for studio installations, broadcast trucks, jib base support, and multi-camera field productions where reliability under continuous use is non-negotiable.
