Teris TS350CF-CINE Fluid Head/Tripod System

Product Overview

The Teris TS350CF-CINE is a professional cinema fluid head and carbon fiber tripod system built for demanding film and broadcast productions. Designed around a 150mm bowl fitting and a 40 kg payload capacity, this system handles the heaviest cinema camera configurations — including fully dressed cinema cameras with matte boxes, follow focus systems, and broadcast lenses. The carbon fiber tripod legs keep total system weight at 16.3 kg while delivering the structural rigidity that large-format production demands. For cinematographers and camera operators who need a dependable heavy-duty fluid head tripod system for cinema camera rigs, the TS350CF-CINE is a complete, field-ready solution.

Product Description

The TS350CF-CINE combines Teris's TS350 fluid head — their highest-payload production head — with a purpose-built carbon fiber tripod designed to match its capabilities. The 150mm bowl interface is the standard for heavy cinema and broadcast applications, ensuring compatibility with studio pedestals, high hats, and other 150mm accessories. A sliding quick release plate accommodates both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera screws, so the system works with cinema cameras using standard base plates without adapters. The stepless counterbalance and drag systems allow precise tuning across a wide range of camera build weights — critical when operators swap between a stripped body and a fully dressed cinema rig in the same shooting day. The carbon fiber tripod legs deliver a favorable strength-to-weight ratio, reducing fatigue during repositioning on location shoots and documentary productions. A ground spreader maintains stable leg geometry across uneven terrain, a practical requirement for field production and ENG deployments. At 40 kg payload, this system handles broadcast zoom lenses, professional cinema primes with supporting accessories, and the full range of cameras used in high-end narrative and commercial production.
