Tilta has unveiled their new Cine Tripod series at NAB 2024, offering two distinct models – the CT08 and CT12 – to cater to a range of production needs. Let’s take a closer look at what these tripods bring to the table.
A Choice for Every Crew Size:
The Tilta Cine Tripod series isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Tilta recognizes the diverse needs of video productions and offers two options:
- CT08: This lightweight tripod is ideal for smaller crews or run-and-gun productions. Featuring a maximum payload of 8kg (17.6 lbs) and telescopic carbon fiber legs, it prioritizes portability and flexibility. The telescopic legs allow filmmakers to achieve very low shooting positions, perfect for capturing unique perspectives.
- CT12: For larger productions or situations requiring more stability, the CT12 steps up to the challenge. Boasting a higher payload capacity of 12kg (26.4 lbs) and two-stage carbon fiber legs with a more robust build, the CT12 is designed to handle heavier camera setups. It also features an electronic bubble level for precise leveling in low-light environments.
Smooth Operation and User-Friendly Design:
Both CT08 and CT12 share a commitment to smooth operation and user-friendly design. They feature 75mm bowl heads with adjustable drag and counterbalance for precise camera movements. Additionally, both models come with Arca-Swiss compatible quick release plates for seamless camera attachment and detachment.
Built to Withstand the Elements:
Tilta has designed the Cine Tripod series to endure various shooting conditions. The system is resistant to high and low temperatures, operating in a range between -40°F and 140°F. This ensures your tripod remains reliable regardless of the weather.
A Look Ahead: Who Should Consider the Tilta Cine Tripods?
The Tilta Cine Tripod series offers a compelling option for videographers and filmmakers seeking a balance between portability, stability, and user-friendliness. The CT08 is ideal for smaller crews and mobile productions, while the CT12 caters to larger productions and heavier camera setups.
With the Tilta Cine Tripod series being a new release, information on pricing and availability is yet to be revealed. Stay tuned for further updates and potential reviews to see how these tripods perform in real-world filming scenarios.
