CARBON-FIBRE TC7 TRIPOD
The Gazelle TC7 uses three-section carbon-fibre legs to provide a strong but comparatively lightweight support system.
Its maximum working height is approximately 155cm, with a minimum height of approximately 18cm for low-angle filming and photography.
The tripod weighs approximately 1.86kg before fitting the head and has a stated maximum payload of approximately 9kg.
FASTBOWL LEVELLING SYSTEM
The integrated Fastbowl system allows the K5S head to be levelled independently of the tripod legs.
This is particularly useful on uneven ground, where the camera platform can be levelled quickly without repeatedly changing the length of each leg.
The Fastbowl uses a quick-release design, allowing the head assembly to be removed or repositioned without prolonged unscrewing.
KOMODO K5S FLUID VIDEO HEAD
The included K5S is a professional fluid video head designed to produce controlled pan and tilt movements.
It is suitable for compatible DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, camcorders and compact video rigs with a complete operating weight of up to approximately 5kg.
The head provides:
• Smooth horizontal panning
• Controlled vertical tilt movement
• Adjustable counterbalance
• Adjustable tilt resistance
• Separate pan and tilt locks
• Quick-release camera mounting
• Reversible or adjustable pan-handle positioning
The fluid movement is useful for interviews, events, wildlife, sports, product videos, documentary work and general video production.
COUNTERBALANCE SYSTEM
The K5S counterbalance system helps support the weight of the camera when the head is tilted.
Correct adjustment can make the camera easier to control and reduce the tendency for it to fall forwards or backwards when the tilt lock is released.
The camera should be balanced correctly on the quick-release plate before filming.
QUICK-RELEASE CAMERA PLATE
The removable plate allows compatible cameras and camcorders to be mounted and removed without unscrewing the camera from the head each time.
Ensure the plate is locked securely before releasing the camera and confirm that all mounting screws are correctly tightened.
LEG ADJUSTMENT
Each tripod leg has three sections with quick-action locking mechanisms.
The legs can also be positioned at three different angles, allowing the tripod to be used at standard height, on uneven surfaces or close to ground level.
The stated leg angles are approximately 22, 55 and 77 degrees.
INTERCHANGEABLE FEET
Rubber feet are suitable for hard indoor surfaces and help reduce marking or slipping.
Spiked feet provide additional grip on suitable outdoor surfaces such as soil, grass and loose ground.
Always select the correct feet for the surface and confirm that they are fitted securely before mounting equipment.
LOAD CAPACITY
The TC7 tripod has a stated maximum payload of approximately 9kg.
The K5S fluid head has a lower stated payload of approximately 5kg, so the complete camera, lens, cage, monitor, microphone and other accessories fitted above the head must remain within the K5S limit.
Actual stability will also depend on:
• Tripod height
• Leg angle
• Ground conditions
• Wind
• Camera balance
• Lens length
• Position of attached accessories
COMPATIBILITY
Suitable for compatible:
• DSLR cameras
• Mirrorless cameras
• Camcorders
• Cinema cameras within the supported weight
• Video camera rigs
• Telephoto lens setups
• Camera cages
• External monitors and microphones
Compatibility is not restricted to a particular camera brand. The camera or mounting accessory must use a compatible tripod mounting thread and remain within the supported payload.
