This All-New Heavy Duty Tripod is a Videographer's Dream
If you’ve been looking for a heavy-duty tripod, Ikan is proud to announce their new 2-Stage Flip Lock Carbon Fiber Motus Tripod.
Once you add this video tripod to your photography gear, you’re going to wonder how you ever lived without it.
This heavy-duty tripod is perfect for a videographer working out of a broadcast studio, but it is also perfect for a filmmaker working on location.
It holds more weight than many other heavy-duty tripods in its price range and it does so without being incredibly heavy itself thanks to its two-stage carbon fiber leg tubes. Gone are the days of lugging around big, heavy all-aluminum tripods!
If you’re on the market for a heavy-duty tripod, you’ve found the perfect one in this Ikan product.
It Holds Up to 220 Pounds
When I say that it’s a heavy-duty tripod, I’m not kidding. This tripod boasts a payload weight of 220.5 pounds or 100 kilograms. The weight of videography gear is simply no match for this tripod!
It is also very versatile because while it can hold up to 220.5 pounds of equipment, it only weighs 18.7 lbs or 8.5 kg itself. So, you don’t need to worry about dozens of extra pounds of weight.
The tripod also features a height range of 21.9 in-59.6 in or 55.5cm-151cm, so you never miss a shot.
Plus, you don’t have to worry about the fact that this tripod can hold so much weight, since it is incredibly stable. It features an extendable/quick release mid-level spreader that works quickly and smoothly so you can ensure your equipment is always supported.
It Works in Almost Any Terrain
It’s really frustrating how hard it is to find a heavy-duty tripod that is designed for anything other than studio work. A heavy-duty tripod should both be able to support a ton of weight and be able to do so in any terrain. Unfortunately, tripods with both of these features are incredibly rare.
It’s one of the reasons why I was so thrilled to read about the 2-Stage flip Lock Carbon Fiber Motus Tripod. Since it isn’t made entirely out of metal, it doesn’t weigh a ton so that it is really easy to bring with you. It also comes with a carrying bag that is made out of padded nylon to protect your tripod when you’re on the road.
Of course, a lightweight heavy-duty tripod doesn’t mean much if it can’t actually function when you’re on a shoot. It’s why this tripod comes with removable rubber feet. You can use the rubber feet during indoor shoots so that you don’t scuff up the floor and then take them off when you’re heading outside again and need spiked feet once more.
The tripod’s quick-release legs also allow you to keep your equipment secured on any terrain, even rocky or uneven terrain when you’re hiking in the mountains.

It Allows You to Upgrade
Another problem that I’ve come across when searching for a good tripod is that many of them aren’t designed for scaling up your business.
What I mean by this is that I want a heavy-duty tripod that is going to be able to grow with me and a tripod with a really specific ball head compatibility isn’t going to work for me in the long term.
It’s why the 2-Stage flip Lock Carbon Fiber Motus Tripod is designed to be compatible with all professional 100mm ball heads.
It is going to work with the equipment that you have now, but as your business grows and you need to update your gear, it will also work with your equipment in the future.
I don’t know why anybody would spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a tripod that they would have to upgrade in two or three years anyways.
It is Seriously Sturdy
I get that you may lean towards an aluminum tripod as your go-to heavy-duty tripod because it feels so sturdy. As someone who definitely has some anxiety about my videography gear, I understand this.
But, despite the 2-Stage flip Lock Carbon Fiber Motus Tripod’s light weight, it feels like it is going to take care of my equipment. The carbon fiber leg tubes are sturdy but light. The all-metal main body exudes strength and gives you the feeling of durability that you want out of a good tripod.
Plus, even the smaller pieces on this tripod, like the removable rubber feet, feel as if they are of a very high quality.
Of course, all of this quality does come at a price. The 2-Stage flip Lock Carbon Fiber Motus Tripod costs $1,000. While this is a hefty amount to spend on a tripod, keep in mind that Ikan guarantees all of their products for 1 year after you originally purchase them.
Besides, isn’t it better to make an investment in a good tripod that will serve you for years and years rather than buying several cheap tripods over the same time period?! This is a you-get-what-you-pay-for situation, and with Ikan, you get a high-quality, well-made, durable product that will be in your camera bag for a very long time!
