Libec RS-450D Tripod System with Floor Spreader The Libec RS-450D is an aluminum tripod system designed for shoulder-mount ENG cameras, featuring a dual-head design, continuous counterbalance, and a maximum payload of 12 kg (26.5 lb). The system includes the RH45 fluid head, RT40B tripod legs, SP-2B ground spreader, and RC-40 carrying case. Component Descriptions Libec RH45 Fluid Head This is a dual-head fluid head that can be mounted on both 75mm ball diameter and flat base tripods, making it versatile for use on sliders or dollies. It features a continuous counterbalance system that allows for precise fine-tuning to match various camera weights and angles, which helps to stop the camera precisely at any tilt angle. The head includes a pan and tilt fluid drag system with "Free plus 3-step" modes, designed to reduce image wobbling at the start of panning and eliminate backlash at the end of movement. It has an illuminated bubble level for easy leveling in low-light conditions. Libec RT40B 2-Stage Tripod Legs These are heavy-duty, 2-stage aluminum legs designed for high rigidity and use with shoulder cameras. They use aluminum die-casting material for the upper leg fixation screws to ensure excellent stability. The legs accommodate a 75mm ball head attachment and support a maximum load capacity of 35 kg (77 lb) on their own. Libec SP-2B Ground Spreader The SP-2B is a ground-level (floor) spreader that enhances the system's stability and minimizes vibrations when shooting on level surfaces. It also helps to protect the floor from the tripod's feet. Libec RC-40 Carrying Case This is a heavy-duty, padded soft case designed for transporting the assembled tripod system. It is made from water-resistant polyurethane-coated polyester and features rubber feet on the bottom for added ground protection and shock absorption. The case has a wide end-to-end opening for quick access and includes an inner pocket for storing accessories like the pan handle. Note: Some system variations may include the similar but slightly larger RC-50 case.
