Single extension tripods are fitted with the Sachtler rotary clamping system, which delivers the speed and mobility that news professionals and other users need. Whatever the acquisition needs, Sachtler sets you up ahead of the rest. The carbon fiber used by Sachtler to produce its tripods is particularly twist resistant, because it is drawn out of one piece. Carbon fiber is lighter than Dural aluminum and ensures maximum stability and carrying capacity. The standard carbon fiber tripods CF 100 L and CF 100 M both have tube diameters of 16 mm / 0.63", while the HD version CF 100 HD has a tube diameter of 22 mm / 0.87" for a maximum load of 90 kg / 198 lb. All models in the line feature the Sachtler rotary clamping system. Carbon fiber tripods are extremely lightweight and highly stable at the same time.
