Description

The Ridley carbon fibre levelling base tripod is designed for stability – for content creators and videographers in studios or on location, as well as birders, and spotting scope users. Available in a kit with the AirHed Cine CC, or as tripod only, Ridley’s 3-section carbon legs and variable leg angles ensure that creators can work at a variety of heights.

Made with 8-layer premium carbon fibre tubing and aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, Ridley has easy-to-use, virtually silent leg latches to adjust angles from full height to almost ground level. The built-in levelling base offers 10˚ of levelling all around and has a movable spirit level ensuring creators get a level shot on any terrain.

Ridley is available in a kit with the AirHed Cine CC, or as tripod only. The AirHed Cine CC advanced fluid video head is ideal for content creators using mirrorless or compact cine cameras, field sports enthusiasts using spotting scopes, and birders. It can support loads up to 10 kg / 22lb.

The Cine CC has independent pan and tilt controls with 360˚ panning and a total 165˚ of tilt. Its panning arm is both retractable and detachable and can be mounted on either side for left or right-handed use.

It is supplied with the XP100 Ultra Plate - Arca-Swiss compatible quick release plate which has compatibility with 3LT’s XPAND system, sliding camera screw sled with locator pin, and cable management hook. The Cine CC’s clamp can be rotated by 90˚ to enable use with Arca-Swiss compatible cages and L-brackets.
