The HDT single and two-stage tripods are the new heavy-duty additions to the renowned Vinten range of camera support.

Offering the most extensive height range available from heavy duty tripods on the market, the HDT has been totally re-designed, to offer increased torsional rigidity and robustness – ideal for large camera and lens combinations in any studio or OB application.

The new pinned and glued telescopic leg design provides a wide range of height adjustment whilst offering superior strength and reliability. Set up has been made even simpler with the addition of engraved leg markings for rapid, even deployment and an integral level bubble allows for fine level adjustment. The new clamping system provides progressive feel to a positive stop which indicates when the leg is locked, ensuring simple and confident clamping.

Whatever the terrain, the HDT’s three-position swivel foot ensures a stable base. Choose from an increased length spike for soft surfaces, self-levelling pad for harder surfaces or a socket to fit all Vinten skids and floor spreaders. For more uneven surfaces, the newly designed mid-level spreader ensures the HDT is a convenient and stable option. The single piece, fixed length design offers exceptional strength and robustness, whilst simple to use and remove when necessary. With an integral carry handle providing comfortable and easy repositioning, this system is ideal for any terrain.

Combined with the Vector range, these systems provide maximum control and flexibility wherever the next location may be.
