Magnus VT-4000-PRO Overview
The Magnus REX VT-4000-PRO-2 2-Stage Video Tripod with Fluid Head is a full tripod and fluid head system that supports cameras and accessories weighing up to 11 lb. Its independent pan and tilt locks, variable fluid tilt drag, and spring-loaded counterbalance provide smooth camera movement, and it mounts using a 65mm leveling ball. The fluid head features a sliding camera platform with the VT-QRP550 quick release plate with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera mounting screws, and the head provides a safety lock for the plate.
The two-stage tripod legs are made from durable aluminum and feature three sections with individual height adjustments and snap locks. The head and legs combination features a height range of 30 to 63.5" and folds to a compact 31.5" long for transport and storage. Dual-spiked feet and a mid-level spreader are an excellent combination for shooting on uneven terrain. The spiked feet are suitable for use on exteriors and soft surfaces, and when shooting on hard or delicate surfaces, the included rubber feet offer a better grip and surface protection. A padded carry case with a shoulder strap is included to store and transport the tripod system.
This rugged two-stage tripod offers rigidity and strength for your camera and gear weighing up to 11 lb. Snap locks allow for a fast, effortless setup and height adjustment.
The VT-4000-PRO-2 fluid head delivers uniform and even panning and tilting for smooth camera motion so your video will look steady and professional. With tilt drag control, you can dial in the exact amount of resistance for your shot.
Spring-Loaded Counterbalance
The spring-loaded counterbalance provides extra security for your camera or rig with tension that works against your camera's tilt. This prevents your camera from tipping over and offers extra tension for a smoother tilt motion.
Quick Release Plate and Safety Lock
The VT-QRP550 quick release plate locks into the head in seconds so you can mount your camera and set up your shot without interrupting your workflow. The quick release lever features a safety lock to prevent the quick release lever from accidentally unlocking.
The increment scale on the quick release receiver will help you balance your camera every time you mount it. Mark the point where your camera is balanced, and the next time you mount your camera, it will be perfectly balanced so you can start shooting immediately.
Mid-Level Locking Spreader
For stability on uneven surfaces, the mid-level spreader allows you to maintain a stable base while you adjust the bottom stages of the legs. For extra stability in tight spaces, you can narrow the spread of the legs and lock them into position.
For shooting indoors and on hard or uneven surfaces, the nonslip rubber feet will hold the VT-4000-PRO-2 in place. For shooting outdoors on dirt or sand, the rubber feet can be removed to expose dual-angle metal spikes.
The VT-4000-PRO-2 weighs less than 10 lb, so you can take it anywhere you want to go. The padded carry case protects the tripod against bumps and impacts, and the included shoulder strap lets you sling it over your shoulder while you're walking to your location.
