Teris TS1610CF-Q 2-Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod

Product Overview

The Teris TS1610CF-Q 2-Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod is a field-proven broadcast and cinema tripod offering a verified 50 kg payload capacity with a 100mm bowl fitting and the convenience of a quick-release leg locking system. Weighing 3.98 kg, the TS1610CF-Q is built from carbon fiber for maximum stiffness and minimum weight, making it one of the most practical heavy-duty field tripods for ENG, documentary, and single-operator cinema crews. The two-stage legs extend to standard working heights and lock positively, providing a stable platform for fluid heads and camera packages in the 10–30 kg range.

Product Description

The TS1610CF-Q occupies the position between entry-level aluminum tripods and the full heavy-duty TS2210CF in the Teris lineup. With a 50 kg verified payload capacity, it handles any realistic broadcast or cinema camera and fluid head combination with a comfortable safety margin. The carbon fiber two-stage legs reduce system weight compared to aluminum alternatives while maintaining the rigidity required for stable, vibration-free fluid head operation. The 100mm bowl base accepts the full range of Teris 100mm fluid heads as well as third-party heads, giving operators the flexibility to pair the TS1610CF-Q with the head of their choice. The quick-release leg locks allow fast height adjustment in the field, which matters when repositioning during live events or documentary shoots where setup time directly affects the number of shots captured. At 3.98 kg, the tripod can be carried alongside a full broadcast camera package without significantly increasing total kit weight. The leg angle is adjustable for low-angle positions, and rubber feet provide secure footing across a range of surfaces. The TS1610CF-Q is compatible with Teris spreader accessories for use on uneven terrain or soft ground surfaces where additional leg stability is required. It is the practical choice for broadcast crews and documentary operators who need professional payload capacity and carbon fiber construction at a lower price point than the top-of-range TS2210CF.
