Libec 2stage ENG carbon fiber tripod with 100mm bowl

R 23,612.95
Tax included Shipping calculated at checkout.

The specific model line that matches a 2-stage ENG (Electronic News Gathering) carbon fiber tripod with a 100mm bowl is the premium Libec RT50C (as well as its classic predecessor, the T98C).

This configuration is optimized specifically for shoulder-mount ENG cameras, heavy field broadcast configurations, and build-up cinema rigs. It blends the structural stiffness needed to support fast, manual camera pans with the lightweight handling essential for mobile news teams.

1. Anti-Torsion Multi-Layered Carbon Piping

The core structural advantage of the RT50C lies in its high-modulus, multi-layered carbon fiber weave:

  • Backlash Neutralization: In live news gathering, camera operators frequently perform fast panoramic tracking movements or sudden whip-pans. The dual-tube layout on the upper leg stages completely dampens horizontal flex, eliminating the subtle "spring-back" wobble (pan backlash) when an operator stops panning.

  • Extreme Weather Performance: Unlike metal legs that contract, expand, or become painfully cold to hold in extreme temperatures, carbon fiber remains thermally stable and comfortable to handle on outdoor shoots.

2. Industry-Standard 100mm Leveling Bowl

The cast aluminum apex crown features a precision-machined 100mm bowl mount.

  • Heavy-Duty Head Support: It is sized to host heavy, high-end professional ENG fluid heads (such as Libec's continuous-balance professional heads, or standard industry broadcast heads from Sachtler and Vinten). The 100mm diameter distributes downward force evenly to eliminate settling shifts during operation.

  • Robust Payload Profile: While the standalone legs are highly portable, the structural integrity of the layout easily supports camera packages and fluid head systems weighing up to 35 kg (77 lbs).

3. Two-Stage Mechanical Framework

  • High-Torque Speed Locks: Height adjustments across the 2-stage (3-section) legs are secured using large, rubber-overmolded flip locks or heavy-duty twist knobs depending on the specific model variation. These are designed for rapid deployment, letting news crews lock down sections instantly while wearing thick gloves in cold weather.

  • Dynamic Elevation Window: When paired with a standard floor spreader, the system delivers an expansive height range, allowing you to drop down low for dramatic ground perspectives or extend fully up to eye level to shoot clean frames over crowd lines.

Core Technical Specifications:

Performance Parameter Libec RT50C ENG Standalone Legs Specs
Official Model Profile Libec RT50C
Primary Material Build High-Modulus Aerospace Carbon Fiber Composites
Maximum Standalone Payload 35.0 kg / 77.0 lbs
Native Head Interface 100mm Leveling Bowl Base
Leg Stage / Section Layout 2-Stage / 3-Section Support Framework
Maximum Height Reach 158.0 cm / 62.2 inches (with ground spreader)
Minimum Operating Height 46.5 cm / 18.3 inches (with ground spreader)
Net Hardware Weight Ultra-efficient at 2.6 kg / 5.7 lbs (excluding spreaders)
Primary Foot Profile Dual Metal Spikes for Outdoor Terrains

Production Spreader Guide: To securely anchor and brace the physical footprint of the RT50C, you will need to pair the legs with either the Libec SP-2B Floor Spreader (for completely flat concrete or studio linoleum) or the BR-2B Mid-Level Telescopic Spreader combined with FP-2B Large Rubber Foot Pads (for jagged, rocky, or uneven field terrain).
