Matthews MT-1, Heavy Duty Tripod Legs, Used

Matthews MT-1  heavy-duty tripod for location videography with heavy camera and lens packages has proven to be an industry favorite. Nearly every sports remote broadcast – including auto racing, baseball, football and wrestling – depends on the MT-1 for the firm, stable platform required for “whip” pans and other rapid camera movements with no tripod jitter, twist, or swaying. Camera mobility can be achieved with the DL-7 Dolly or the MT-1 can be mounted to the Doorway Dolly for either track or surface running. Leveling the MT-1 has been simplified by placing the leveling bubble in the center post. The MT-1 now offers a new and improved braking system, furthering its handling and stabilizing capabilities.

The MT-1 has proven itself over the years in camera, microwave dish and other electronic device support with a load capacity of 265 lbs, and an operating range of 25″ to 44″.

Brass Brake for MT-1
Simplicity and reliability are the best words to characterize the redesigned MT-1 brake. The brake replaces the original multi-part brake assembly with a single brass plate that has been engineered to provide positive, service-free locking.

Folded Base and Max Height dimensions should be used when shopping for a case for the MT-1.
