Libec RT20C Tripod (RT20C)

The World’s Lightest Video Tripod

The NX-100MC/NX-300MC mid-level spreader systems only weigh 3.8 kg and are considered the world’s lightest video tripods compared to conventional video tripods equipped with adjustable drag and counterbalance systems. This is achieved by closely exploring the structure, materials, and components, adapting a new mechanism that significantly reduces the number of parts, and applying plastic parts for the main component without compromising operability or functionality.

Operability with Precision
Thanks to specially skilled craftsmen in Libec Japan, we adapted an innovative design to maximize NX’s performance. As result, a significant reduction in wobbling and backlash in pan and tilt movements is achieved and offers the best precision operability in its range by far.

Newly Designed Multistep Counterbalance Mechanism
The NX series can support a wide range of camera configurations with a newly designed multistep counterbalance system that fits variety of production styles. Users can select from 5 steps of counterbalance including a zero “free” mode option for speedy set-up.

Advanced Drag Unit
The layered metal unit in the drag system ensures operability, durability and reliability. This advanced drag unit offers smoother starts, improved backlash control and more rigidity than a conventional low cost plastic unit commonly adapted by other brands.

Highly Reliable Multistep Drag System
The NX series features the variable 4 step drag pan tilt system that includes a zero “free” mode option with no friction. In addition, the finest silicon grease is applied to ensure ordinary pan and tilt movements at a wide temperature range from -40˚C/-40˚F up to +60˚C/+140˚F.

LED Bubble Level
The bubble level is equipped with an LED light to level a tripod in the dark.

Safety Design
With safety in mind, the tripod legs are carefully designed to prevent the tripod from collapsing on a user’s fingers, even if the tripod is collapsed unintentionally.
