FAQs

Is the SmallRig x Potato Jet TRIBEX 4858 suitable for travel?

Yes, it’s ideal for travel thanks to its 66cm folded length, which fits inside standard 28" luggage. At just 2.6kg, the carbon fibre construction keeps the tripod lightweight without sacrificing stability. The compact profile makes it especially practical for videographers on the move.

How much weight can the SmallRig TRIBEX 4858 tripod hold?

With legs fully spread and the centre column down, it supports up to 25kg. When the centre column is raised, it can safely hold up to 8kg. These figures make it suitable for larger cinema rigs, though payload limits can vary depending on gear type and setup.

What is the advantage of the X-Clutch system?

The X-Clutch allows all three legs to be deployed and locked in place simultaneously using just one hand. This feature significantly speeds up setup time and provides a seamless transition between locations or shooting angles.

Can the tripod be used for low-angle shooting?

Yes, the legs can be adjusted to a wide 81° angle, and the centre column can be repositioned or removed entirely to allow a minimum height of just 15cm. This makes it suitable for creative low-angle shots or ground-level macro work.
