Magnus REX VT-5000-CM Carbon Fiber Two-Stage Mono Lock Video Tripod

The REX VT-5000-CM Carbon Fiber Two-Stage Mono Lock Video Tripod from Magnus is designed with professional features for videographers who need a stable, lightweight, and smooth camera support system. It features carbon fiber tandem-telescoping legs with a single-action leg lock to rapidly extend all three leg sections simultaneously.

Flip one of the locks and extend the leg from a minimum height of 33.2" to a maximum height of 66.5", then lock the leg's position with another quick flip. Constructed with sturdy carbon fiber for lightweight rigidity and stability, this stand supports up to 17 lb while offering enhanced vibration resistance in demanding environments. The adjustable mid-level spreader adds stiffness and allows independent leg angles for setting up on uneven surfaces. Each leg features a dual-spiked foot with a removable rubber foot, so you can use the tripod outdoors on loose rocks or indoors on smooth flooring.

The incorporated video head offers 2-way fluid action with an additional tilt-drag adjustment to capture steady and controlled pan and tilt movements for shake-free professional videos. It has an integrated quick release set with a clip-in ability for speedy camera attachments. Leveling your head is a snap, thanks to the 75mm ball mount with an ergonomic leveling knob and the integrated bubble level.

Lightweight Construction

Carbon fiber provides durable and stable legs for a lightweight and strong camera setup. Maintain the integrity of your videos with increased vibration resistance and temperature resistance, soaking up unwanted shakes and keeping your setup steady in windy situations. The reduced weight over aluminum legs means you can carry the tripod farther with less strain on your back. Carbon fiber is also less susceptible to corrosion and rust, which helps when out in inclement weather.

Single-Action Leg Lock

With a single flip of the leg lock, the three-leg sections can be simultaneously deployed and then securely locked in place. This offers a speedy setup with an extendable height of up to 66.5" or to fold the tripod down to 33.2". You no longer have to mess with a lock for each individual leg section.

2-Way Fluid Head

Easily and smoothly adjust camera direction with the 2-way fluid head. The fluid head delivers uniform and even panning and tilting for seamless camera motion for steady and professional results. Double rosette mounts make it easy to attach the pan handle to either side of the head for use with either hand. And to make sure everything is level before recording, the 75mm leveling ball includes a simple-to-use adjustment knob and a viewable bubble level.

Adjustable Tilt Drag

The VT-5000-CM's fluid head delivers uniform and even tilting for smooth camera motion, so your video will look steady and professional. With adjustable tilt drag control, you can dial in the exact amount of resistance.

Spring-Loaded Counterbalance

The spring-loaded counterbalance allows extra smooth tilt movements by providing tension resistance. This resistance helps balance a heavy camera so that the tilt speed is consistent during filming. A counterbalance offers tension resistance for the camera or rig that works against the camera's tilt, providing extra tension for smoother tilt motion while preventing the camera from unexpectedly tipping over.

75mm Leveling Head

The 75mm bowl securely holds and balances video cameras up to 17 lb while providing smooth rotation to compose the shot.

Quick Release Plate

The quick release plate allows the camera to easily mount and dismount by locking or unlocking the plate in and out of the head. A safety lock with push-button security prevents the quick release lever from accidentally unlocking when removing or tilting the camera.

Camera Clip-In

Besides sliding the camera in and out of the head with the quick release plate, the plate can simply be clipped into the head. This saves time when switching from handheld to shooting with the stabilized tripod without having to line up the plate and head grooves.

Mid-Level Locking Spreader

The mid-level spreader allows the angle of each leg to be independently adjusted. This is especially helpful when setting up on uneven surfaces like rocks or stairs, where one leg's angle might need to extend out wider for improved stability.

Dual-Spiked Feet with Rubber Boots

The VT-5000-CM provides options for secure footing in any shooting situation. Choose between dual-spiked feet or easily removable large rubber feet. Use the spikes outdoors on rocky terrain and the rubber feet to shoot indoors on smooth flooring.

Carrying Case

A padded carrying case shields the tripod from bumps and scratches while traveling between shoots. The adjustable shoulder strap allows you to quickly sling the case over your shoulder, and an interior pocket provides space to store extra accessories.
