DEMA 2006: Gates video tripod

Article Summary:

Covering the floor at DEMA, Drew Wong had the opportunity to check out the new Gates tripod, and he goes so far as to put it in the running for “best video product at DEMA.”

The tripod has extendable legs, and each leg has a full range of motion due to the use of Ultralight Control System ball joints and clamps, allowing a wide range of positions for stabilizing a video housing. Unfortunately, the tripod is currently only available for Gates housings.

Would you use the tripod if it could be adapted to your housing? Weigh in with your thoughts in the tripod discussion...
