Industry-Proven Stability for Heavy ENG Workflows

The S100A2 Aluminum Tripod System is a professional, high-intensity support platform tailored for demanding Electronic News Gathering (ENG) field applications and heavy shoulder-mounted broadcast camcorders. Highly popular across the video industry, this system is optimized to support widely used broadcast setups like the Panasonic AJ-PX800 and Sony PDW-680. By combining comprehensive CNC machine processing with marine-grade 304 stainless steel load-bearing components, the system establishes an ultra-solid shooting foundation that effectively neutralizes structural micro-shakes on location.

Balanced Hydraulic Control and Seamless Panning

At the core of this industrial configuration is the S100H fluid head, introducing an advanced fluid drag structure and effective counterbalance system. Operators can quickly fine-tune their shots using 4 independent levels of horizontal pan drag and 4 steps of vertical tilt drag to achieve consistent, uniform tracking. Accompanied by an 8-step counterbalance dial that perfectly counteracts the center of gravity for equipment configurations weighing from 3kg up to 12kg, executing seamless movements over a $+90^\circ$ to $-75^\circ$ tilt range becomes entirely effortless.

Heavy-Duty Aluminum Build Ready for the Field

Built to withstand continuous travel and fast-paced on-air reporting, the AT162 2-stage aluminum tripod balances rigorous stability with an impressive maximum working height of 1780mm. The 3-section leg configuration is braced by a mid-level or ground spreader system for concrete-stable ground anchoring. Capable of performing flawlessly in extreme outdoor environmental temperatures ranging from a freezing $-40^\circ\text{C}$ to a scorching $+60^\circ\text{C}$, this production-ready kit arrives with a PL100 quick-release plate, a PB100 single telescopic pan bar, an illuminated 30-second bubble level, and a premium CO100 padded transport bag.
