Sachtler has announced a new ground spreader for the Flowtech 75 and Flowtech 100 tripods. The Flowtech ground spreader weighs 800 grams and features a built-up radius of 38-57cm.Up until now, the Flowtech models have only come with a mid spreader, but finally, Sachtler has made a ground spreader available.
   

While a lot of ENG and EFP shooters prefer mid spreaders, a ground spreader makes sense for shooters who are primarily shooting on flat surfaces. A ground spreader extends the stability of your tripod when used on flat surfaces.

The Flowtech ground spreader can be quickly attached or removed from the tripod.  A unique foot control enables operators to change the tripod’s footprint without having to bend over; they simply step on one of the foot buttons to extend the spreader arms to the full radius. Since the spreader feet are removable, operators no longer have to carry a separate set of feet if they choose to use the tripod without the spreader for low-angle shots.
