Libec 2stage tripod with 75mm bowl

Libec offers two primary 2-stage (3-section) tripod leg packages featuring an industry-standard 75mm leveling bowl. Depending on whether your priority is run-and-gun portability or raw structural load capacity, you can look at the ultra-lightweight carbon fiber RT20C, the versatile aluminum RT30B, or the fully integrated TH-Z T system sticks.

Option 1: The Versatile Studio/Field Standard — Libec RT30B (Aluminum)

The RT30B is a foundational workhorse built from die-cast aluminum alloy components. It balances weight, durability, and standard physical bracing.

• High Payload Limit: Despite its mobile chassis, the leg castings are rated to support up to 25 kg (55 lbs). This ensures zero-flex stability when anchoring professional mid-sized cinema packages or fully built handheld rigs.

• Aluminum Die-Cast Crown: The 75mm bowl apex is constructed using reinforced metal castings, allowing for firm head clamping that helps eliminate microscopic shifting during rapid panning sweeps.

• Low-Angle Ability: When opened up without a spreader, the legs can drop down to a very low minimum profile of 40.5 cm (16.0") for low-perspective capture, reaching a maximum height of 150.5 cm (59.5").

Option 2: The Lightweight Mobile Choice — Libec RT20C (Carbon Fiber)

The RT20C leverages aerospace carbon fiber tubing to provide mobile documentary and event crews with the ultimate lightweight solution.

• Featherweight Construction: The standalone legs weigh an incredibly light 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs), allowing operators to easily carry the sticks over long tracking distances without physical fatigue.

• Widened Upper Leg Piping: To counteract the natural flex that can happen with ultra-light carbon builds, Libec widened the outer physical diameter of the top leg struts, boosting torsional rigidity to handle up to 35 kg (77 lbs) payloads.

• Elevation Specs: Offers a flexible operating window ranging from 37.0 cm (14.5") up to 154.0 cm (60.6") when paired with its matching lightweight floor spreader.

Option 3: The Rapid System Standalone — Libec TH-Z T (Aluminum)

If you are looking for an all-in-one run-and-gun platform that includes integrated components, the TH-Z T leg assembly is highly popular.

• Integrated Telescopic Mid-Spreader: Unlike the RT series where spreaders are sold strictly separate, the TH-Z sticks come out of the box with an integrated mid-level spreader built directly into the legs.

• Payload & Height Profile: Supports up to 25 kg (55 lbs) safely. It ranges from a minimum height of 58.4 cm (23.0") to a maximum vertical reach of 149.0 cm (58.5"), utilizing speedy mechanical twist-knobs for fast column height corrections.

Core Technical Specifications Comparison:

Rigging Note: The RT30B and RT20C models ship as "bare sticks" from the factory. To prevent leg splay on level interior floors, pair the RT30B with the SP-2B Spreader and the RT20C with the ultra-light SP-1B Spreader. Alternatively, both are fully compatible with the BR-2B Mid-Level Spreader and FP-2B Large Rubber Foot Pads for unlevel exterior terrain.
