SmallRig 5755 X Potato Jet TRIBEX Carbon II Tripod Kit – X-Clutch hydraulic rapid one-second leg deployment
Designed for professional outdoor videography, this tripod kit delivers fast setup and reliable support. It uses X-Clutch hydraulic technology so you can unfold, set leg angles, and lock all legs with a single squeeze in about one second. The tripod covers a working range from 27 cm to 168 cm and folds down to a compact 79 cm for travel.
Key features for fast, on-location operation

Fluid head designed for filmmakers
The kit includes a compact, lightweight hydraulic fluid head with a 4-step counterbalance system. You can set the gravitational center height to 55 mm to stabilize cameras and equipment up to 6 kg while maintaining precise tilt control. Tilt and pan damping are stepless, giving you smooth, continuous control.
- 4-step counterbalance (0, 1, 2, 3) to match different payloads and setups.
- Touch-and-Go quick release plate requires no alignment and speeds transitions between tripod and stabilizer.

The tripod comes with quick-release rubber feet that include integrated spikes. This allows you to adapt quickly to a variety of terrains, from smooth studio floors to uneven outdoor ground. The tripod’s compact stored length of 79 cm and carbon construction make it travel-friendly without sacrificing stability.
