Teris TS300CF-Q Fluid Head & Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit

Product Overview

The Teris TS300CF-Q is a professional fluid head and carbon fiber tripod kit rated for 30 kg payloads, designed for broadcast and cinema camera operators who need a complete, portable tripod system for documentary, ENG, and multi-camera production. The 100mm bowl fluid head pairs with carbon fiber legs to deliver a system that keeps weight down to 10.9 kg total while providing the structural stability required for larger mirrorless, ENG, and compact cinema camera configurations. A sliding quick release plate and fully adjustable counterbalance and drag systems make this a capable mid-range professional tripod system for broadcast studio and field deployment. The TS300CF-Q bridges the gap between entry-level ENG support and the larger cinema-focused TS350CF systems.

Product Description

The TS300CF-Q fluid head operates on a 100mm bowl interface, the standard for mid-range professional broadcast and ENG tripod systems, and accepts payloads up to 30 kg — sufficient for professional ENG camcorders, compact cinema cameras, and shoulder-mounted broadcast cameras with lenses and accessories. The carbon fiber tripod legs contribute to a low system weight of 10.9 kg while maintaining rigidity adequate for production use. A sliding quick release plate enables rapid camera attachment and fore-aft balance adjustment when swapping between lenses. The quick-release mechanism reduces setup time in run-and-gun documentary and news production environments. The fluid head's drag system provides independently adjustable pan and tilt resistance, and the counterbalance system accommodates varying camera build weights. The ground spreader keeps leg geometry consistent during repositioning and provides a stable base on smooth studio floors as well as outdoor surfaces. For production companies, rental houses, or individual operators needing a complete broadcast tripod kit that travels light without compromising payload capacity, the TS300CF-Q delivers a well-specified package at a competitive price point.
